Anyone have any good tips for eliminating front end chatter at full lean angle on the front?
Here's the scoop - 2006 CRF450, 22mm clamps, 16.5 front wheel with Bridgestone supermoto tire. Stock 47mm Showa Suspension revalved by Factory Connection for supermoto.
When I'm in a turn where the bike is at full lean angle, the front wheel chatters bad enough that racers behind me can see it. For example, I'm coming into a faster corner 40-50mph, brake, turn the bike in and get on the gas, the front end chatters really bad at the apex of the corner until I've started to pick the bike up out of the corner on the gas.
Also, if I'm in a sweeping corner at full lean angle holding a steady throttle, the front end also chatters.
I've tried increasing and decreasing compression and rebound dampening more than a few click and it's not helping. I've talked to Factory Connection and they recommended running higher tire pressure in the front tire. I'm currently running 24psi hot in the front.
Anyone else on a Honda have this issue?
Anyone have any tips to resolve it? Anything at all!??
