A smaller front fender would help
Probably not - I had a "funny jiggly" front end a while back, and thought that changing the big flappy old-style XT mudguard to a sexy supermoto style one would help. It didn't ... but it looks great :thumbup1:

(changing the fork oil did the trick in my case ... well the old stuff was over 10 years old :blushing:)

Out of curiosity I went to my local petrol station to check my tyre pressures.

To my horror both tyres were at 15psi!!!!:(

Needless to say they were given a bit of air - the ride home was refreshingly nice.:thumbup1:

Next job is to get some air in the forks (the tyre machine wouldn't work on the forks)

Well, now that's interesting.

Just to add to the 'progress' I'm making with my bikes handling - the extra pressure in the tyres hasn't made that much difference infact apart from the steering being a bit lighter it's pretty much the same.
