Heyhey, apologies for not being active recently - went out for a ride today and a couple of things happened that I figured I'd ask here about.
I have Michelin Pilot Road 5 tyres which have done maybe 1 or 2k miles total.
Today wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold either - on a very slow corner in a one way system I banked the bike over in 1st gear (travelling around 20mph) and the front felt like it went from under me. I'm not sure exactly what I did but there was a bit of a collection and I gathered it up. It wasn't caused by throttle input I don't think, I had very consistent throttle and it didn't feel like I could have jerked it on. Just wondering what could cause that??? The computer said it was 47 degrees, and I've had the bike over that far at higher speed before so I know it's not past the edge of the tyre.
Second thing was another corner (about 50mph and 37 degrees in 3rd gear) and it felt like the back had a little wobble. Again I wasn't being overly zealous with the throttle and it's nothing I haven't done before on the bike.
Does this scream something I'm not thinking of??
