Strange feeling in handling after changing bar

[Shaun]

Of course. Why's that Shaun?

Go and re tourque the top nut to a setting lower than reccomened and test ride the bike again, then re tourque it to rec Tourque setting, and ride again, I will be very surprised if you cannot feal the difference in that alone.

I have been very surprised by how much the top Nut for top tripple clamp, effects the whole stearing head feeling.

PS, and I WILL BE out at Ruapuna next Tuesday and Friday

You know I was wondering about that. I'll give it a try this weekend and see what happens. Cheers for the advice.

My guess is that is where your issue is at man, and if it is, it would also suggest to me, that you need to strip the front end out, and re pack or replace your stearing head bearings also

I don't suppose you (over) tightened the steering head bearings when you changed bars?

Do the new clip ons (at the grips) sit closer to the rider. If your posture has changed more upright and the bars are set back further then the steering would likely feel less quick
