After checking things out yesterday...wyll holding the front brake and rocking the bike back and forth...something not right...and no its not the frame or the stearing head...lol...but something is definitely loose...its coming from the forks...bushings are shot....first time ive had a bike fork bushings go bad on a 2 years-old machine....I think the fork on these are a little on the weak side...
