my vtr feels very loose at the front like it isntconnected to the rear. I managed to get it sideways turning into side road tonight which isn't normal. If I weave down the road like f1 tyre warming it feels like the back end wants to break loose.

I have a thought that the droplinks are buggered but I don't know what else. It has new billie gpn shocks alround and it polybushed bar the rear beam bushes.

Any thoughts ? Before winter it felt really tight

i had the same problem with my vtr i had to change the drop links and back axle as the bearing had worn the tube out. also changed both bottom arms and feels as tight as the day it left the factory :)
