Here's what I have noticed:
Yesterday I was sitting on my bike in the garage slowly loading the suspension and unloading it by sitting on the seat, and then slowly standing. I noticed that the front forks unload to a certain point then stick. Then after I unload it even more the forks suddenly give and come up to position.
My bike has about 11k on it, and it's a 2007. I had my suspension re-adjusted not too long ago at my last track day.
For about a month now I've noticed that every so often accelerating out of a corner my front tire will quickly give out (slide maybe about 6in to 1ft). I assumed this was due to rider error but lately I've been very careful about my steering inputs and I don't think it's me.
1: What could be causing the forks to stick and is it a problem?
2: Could the sticking be causing the front end sliding I've noticed?
I'm planning on taking it into Dave Moss or Evolution to get it checked out, but any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
