    My zip just doesnt feel right...it feels a bit wobbly on the right side.. like it wants to fall over. maybe it just my balance? I dunno. because i fell and it landed on the right side it didnt crash into anything though. maybe bent forks? they dont look bent?
    I'm better at turning left than turning right maybe thats playing a part?

    ye best to check the silly stuff first.. even the bars being slightly out of line will make it feel like its falling over turning a certian direction..

    If someone said handle bars he would know what u mean.. Anyway i was thinkin it could be the fact zip sp's have single front shocks? Could be uneven tyre wear or culd just be in ur head?

    i think we've hit it on the head. he doesnt hold the bars whilst riding, as he doesnt know what they are. When i went for the CBT the bloke said someone got on the bike the wrong way, was it you mr SP man? (Serious)

    thatl make it turn quickly and feel really skiddish on the front, but the effect would be in ether direction.. drop it back down to just below the max pressure written on the tyre and go from there..

    yep the bars were slightly out of line as minor said, i tried to fix this by banging the tire on a wall however i can only be so accurate with this method.
    How do i get it to be exactly in the middle??

    to all the numpty's pout there who havent read the manual...



    like the notch in the bars up wiht the notch in the stem (will soon see it once you have both handlebar pannels off) if it rides bent wiht these lined up then ether your bars, your forks or your frame is bent. but ye, dout it, just use the notch to line it all up.... dont "eye it like a pushbike" its not a pushbike. it exceeds 40 with ease and WILL show up a hell of alot more than on a pushy (as youve found)
