What bike, what year?

I am certainly no expert, so take this as a suggestion and not a fact....have you fiddled with the suspension recently? If not, maybe someone else has I have had the "twiddly bits" on the top of my forks "twiddled" when the bike has been parked up in town.

It sounds like it could be your rebound damping is not set up right. In a corner there is more forces to settle (or conversly un-settle depending on what way things have been twiddled) a bike which might explain whats going on. I would firstly check all the suspension settings are back to factory reccommendations, and then, if it is still doing it, start to increase the re-bound damping.

As I said, its just a suggestion as I had a similar thing on my old ZXR..that was deffinatly down to "twiddled bits"

ZX7R 98.
Reset suspension and hey presto!!!! No problems now
I think it was a tad on the hard side which was making the road seem
very bumpy i think not sure tho

Cheers for the sugestion

I was just going to suggest returning the suspension to standard cause if it was still on the settings of when I had it was a touch on the firm side to say the least

A pleasure :I can't believe it's not butter!

If it is anything like my old ZXR then maybe it's worth getting the rear shock reworked. I got a softer spring and that made bumpy roads much less of an ordeal. I believe there is a revised linkaged for the ZX7 that does much the same job.
