Poor handling
My 1200 Interstate seems to have a problem turning right, it will not maintain a steady lean angle when turning right, it want to sit upright. Could this be a problem with the right rear shock absorber?

Starting simple, What's your tire air pressure?? If it's low it'll cause handling problems for you. I run 40psi front and rear in mine.

Low pressure may well be the problem, I just checked and it was very low aorund 20 psi, I need to get the bike down to a garage to get them pumped up, then I'll see what the ride is like.

Thats a good way to "meat" the pavement.
You should make it a habit to always check your tires daily! Big Grin
