RE: [ST] Cornering



Me too.  What tires are you running?  The Bt020's never slid on the
front for me when I had my RS.  I also ran BT 010's and never had the
problem.  
How much do you weigh?
What settings are you running on the front?
Are you going deep into the corners on the brakes?

I agree with Erik, I would be freakin' scared if my front end was
washing out on the street.

What are the stock tires?? and what air pressures are you using?? 
Are the tires heated up when this happens?? Is the road surface 
good.. you're not hitting tar snakes or anything are you??

It could also be a suspension issue, the stock (un-modified) forks 
being damper rods don't do really well when heavily compressed. If 
you read about damper rod forks , you'll understand why, but simple 
answer is hydraulic lock.

BTW if I was getting my front tire slipping out an inch or two on a 
regular basis I'd be freaking scared!
