[raihdo]

@Pjeroff

which tyres do you use?

or maybe its just a mental problem?

hard to say, only from a description.

@raihdo Well, the front tire is old ... abit stiff...the rear tire was a new Dunlop Qualifier 1 (160/60) ....I've gotten the hang of it now ..well atleast abit....The problem was i am tall + i have a high ergo seat (not the standard one) ...which puts me in an even higher riding position .... I've tried my friends bike and well....you just feel the grip and it's limit...with my setup...you just know it won't throw you ..for now ... :D
