Squirmish ground contact at times - Tires or Suspension?

[rorycooney]

It may just be that i've been off bikes for a little over a year but I can't help but feel that my new Bros 650 just doesn't stick to the ground like my pirelli diablos from my old bros 400 did.
I've got 90 % thread dunlop sportmax d220 st on the rear which came with the bike and a new dunlop of the same line but this years model d221 st as apparently the d220st has been discontinued.

has anyone any experience with these tires. could it just be that I need the suspension worked on.

Checked your air pressure lately? I found mine squirly when the pressure was down a bit.

assumption is the mother of all ****ups!

The bike shop put the new tires when I bought the bike 3 weeks ago. I assumed they set the right pressure and they had no guages for sale so I didn't check at the time. All the guages over here are kPa so I get on forgetting to check. turns out my front was a few PSI low and the back was a few PSI high.

Just took it down the road for a very small spin. .

I forgot the difference a few PSI makes to a bike.

lesson learned, bike shops chain for the most part don't give a shit about you or your safety.
