hey guys,
I need everyones wisdom again :thumbsup:

Basically, out of nowhere my cbr125 has been handling very odd and hard to control.
I know i have a very slightly warped front disk which is making me have "pulsing" breaking when i pull the front brake.

The front susepension has now gone very very soft and i think, there is no fork oil leak and the seals are fine so i cant think why it would seem like there was no oil in the forks :doh: It seems as if there is no damping...?

The whole bike is becoming difficult to control. driving at low speeds has become extremely difficult as i have to fight agaisnt the bike to actually get it to go where i want. I have never had this problem before. Ive checked the steering head bearings and they are a little bit rough but only when I turn the bars all the way to lock, so i dont know if thats affecting it?

The bike seems to sway about bit when moving at around 30-40mph.
I hope someone can shed a little light as im at my wits end :( sorry if its abit longwinded i just wanted to get as much down as possiable

Thanks guys:shockerknucks:
