    2015 Trophy - Front end/Steering suddenly became sensitive/loose after 22000km

    2015 Trophy - Front end/Steering suddenly became sensitive/loose after 22000km

    Hi guys, thanks to all for your inputs, I will look into it. Rode on Sunday again and nearly lost the bike doing around 150km/h in a bend hitting a slight bump in the road - scary..

    2015 Trophy - Front end/Steering suddenly became sensitive/loose after 22000km

    Hy guys, My 2015 Trophy's - Front end/Steering suddenly became sensitive/loose after 22000km. This is noticeable at very low, low and very high speeds - tar or gravel. Tyre pressures/wear is not the issue. Any advice would be appreciated. Will visit my dealer on Monday Thanx Gert
