Was this a recent occurrence ?

 

Did you have a fall?

 

What work was done on the front end?

 

What bike and at what speed do you experience this problem?

 

If it's shaky and unstable, it is unlikely the fork alignment.

 

It could be wheel not balanced or worn out wheel or cone bearings.

I had an accident and recently just took my bike out from w/shop. Was riding Yzf-r125, even a low speed, i experience it. I nearly self skid when i was turning at less than 10km/h! So like what you have mentioned, how or where can i check whether my wheel is not balanced? Worn out wheel means? Or you mean tyre? I can't think of anything other than alignment/tyre or wheel! Is so scary.

If at such low speed you experience such instability, it's a rather serious problem either with your bike or your riding skill.

 

I am not familiar with sports bikes but if it's dirt bikes, it's within the competency of most workshops.

One of the workshop at Autobay:cheeky: .. If my fork is too hard, will it affect my cornering?

Suspension is to improve handling. Suspension becomes more crucial with speed.

 

Go read up about spring rate, preload, compression etc, it will give you sone ideas .

Setting up is an art thus a good suspension tuner charges a premium.
