Deceleration Jitters?

Tread cupping:

Cupping happens from using the brakes, cornering, and anything else that puts lateral stress on the tire surface.
 
well i was coping a feel on the front tire... and they are ok.

so its gotta be somewhere else

well I will take it to my mechanic and see if he can figure it out.

If not maybe i need to trade it in for an 09 :whistle:

naah just kidding
 
under decel..?

how about some quick little checks... While you can feel the issue, looking for a change

grab hand full of clutch ?

Steering a bit left and right?

a light touch on the brakes?

a steady speed on the bike and it is fine?

first inclination is that the tire has a problem from being run low on pressure.. Part 2 goes with someone elses thinking you are misunderstanding what you are feeling and it is coming from somewhere else..
 
I checked the pressure it was around 32/34

I added more to 40/40 its a lot better this morning, But I can still feel the front jitter when decelerating. I need to adjust the front fork damping, it feels a little bit soft.

Its probably your front tire.
I would replace it???
