PLAY In the front?? any Ideas
I dont know if this is from doing stoppies and endoes but , when i hit my front break there is a little play in the front tire. if i watch the front it looks like the forks flex back alittle when i first aply the brake. almost like hiting a bump but its every time i hit the brake at first. could it be bad bearings in the front forks or could they be bent? the head bolt looks fine so its got me stumped , i notice more now then when i first got the bike almost like the braking is not smooth when first applied , any ideas

it's probably the steering bearings, i had to adjust mine a couple weeks ago. Every time i would hit a bump it would have a clunking sound coming from the front end. Also the bike handles like **** in the curves when they are loose. So i would definetely check them.

head bearings. Mine does the same, but Ive neglected endos for SOO long that I never bothered till the headshake got so bad. Dealership said it was like 60-100 bucks to replace them. Prolly a good idea.
