Is it possible that the rear tire is cocked to the side? I had the same feeling a while back on my ninja 500, turned out I adjusted the chain, and cocked the wheel to the side. The bike felt like it was on ice while I was going straight. A while later I had a very similar issue when I dropped the bike and the forks twisted in the triple trees.

what do you mean "cocked to the side"? like the tire isnt set on the wheel or the axle is cock-eyed? that sounds like a very dangerous situation.

As for the front wheel, the ex500 ninja has a tendancy when dropped to twist the front forks in the triple trees, causes the rider to want to fight with the bike to keep it going straight

I agree with derf. Check for mechanical wrong.
The problem with the 250 suspension though is that I don't think it has the adjustability. |

If this is that black bike you posted pictures of, the tires on that bike are crap. And they're probably 10-15 years old. Get rid of them.
I also wouldn't doubt that whoever spray painted that bike didn't mask off the tires beforehand ![]() Last edited by Homeslice; 05-29-2010 at 02:18 PM.. |

If tires are that old than you likely found the problem.
