bowdog Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Maybe way off here but has the bike sat? Maybe front rotor a little corroded? Should have cleaned itself off when hitting brakes on freeway but just a thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wht_scorpion Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 low psi in the tire?It sounds like the tires check both of them and air them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 definitely air pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Air up your tire before you get hurt.Tire pressure gauge. If you don't have one, you shouldn't be on your bike. You need to check the tire pressure often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I've ridden on rear flat (zero air), far enough to get air. Kinda walking it for part of the way. Darn bike wouldn't turn for crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 if low tire pressure makes it feel sluggish then high pressure with make it feel light and nimble. I think 90 psi sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixb555 Posted July 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 ok ill reduce it thanks so both should 36 psi ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
