Sorry i deleted this guys I was going to write it up, didnt have the time.
The Problem:
so In the process of changing the spark plugs for the first time, I removed the tank among other components to get to the plugs (youtube and manual helped
- I have a digital copy if you need)
after changing the plugs the bike was swerving left and right by itself. I would go in a straight line and turn left say 20 degrees, the bike would then straighten up and continue leaning right slightly more then 20 degrees --> progressively getting worse and worse going down the road if I did not stop it.
The Solution:
I also have an ضhlins steering damper - Model SD020. Whilst removing the tank I did not have a socket large enough to take off the steering head lock nut so I had to move the tank around the ضhlins mount that sits under the lock nut - which is a pain.
mount is the same one as here - http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k9...6/DSC09014.jpg
I got a mate over and lifted up the front wheel and it had a tight spot when you turn fully left.
Turns out, in the process of taking off my tank without undoing the steering head lock nut, it had bent the centre mounting bracket for the dampener making it press down on the triple clamp. Taking the damper mount off solved the problem - now I need a new mount..
Hope this helps someone in future
