Ok guys, I've been having some problems with the front end of the ZZR1100, the last one had progressive springs, JMC swing arm and Hagon rear shocker, so handling was simply not a problem. It tends to drop in on corners and also gives a bit of a shimmy, bit like the wheel was out of balance. Any ideas????

ZZRs are like that mate, all of them, they never sorted the problem. Ive had 2 ZZRs now, and both have been like that. Theyre just really soft. Sorry pal, can't help ya out, other than buying aftermarket forks.

I discovered what part of the problem was, its called air suspension ...................... well actually its called putting air in the front tyre, it was only 20psi

, still drops in a bit tho

I had a similar prob on my bike, but it isnt a ZZR... and it was rear end..... so maybe not so similar at that.... but you are right the right pressure in the tyres does help.... am I a twonk again?

Hi all i ride a zzr600 and its really sensitive to any changes in tyre pressures, also the rear shocks are crap after 15000 miles, bin it and get a decent replacement...
