Re: [ST] Azarro II problem....not me



I would seroiusly check your suspension settings, since the Avons are 
a different diameter than the stock tires and since the stock 
suspension components do wear I'll bet that the sag settings are 
off.. Most likely the bike is riding nose high which would make it 
even more susceptible to cross winds. Also since you found this most 
noticeable when the bike was loaded ( Bags full ??)  which would also 
cause the bike to be even more nose high..

Of course I could be wrong :-)
