Hi all,
Posted on here before a couple of weeks back after a black ice crash.
Ever since then, my Agility has been very unstable. Garage did not find the wheels out of alignment, front suspension is not bent or broken.
The bike pulls and wants to slide even on a straight road. I have tried running my tires 1psi above the guidelines but still dangerous. I've tried it 2psi below the guideline but still slippy. No oil or petrol has touched the tyres and I take care to inspect the bike as much as possible.
However this morning I took another heavy slide which luckily did no damage whatsoever to the bike but threw me about 15m down the road. It was a right bend, the same as the black ice crash. It was the first time I had the courage to really turn it to one side and it lay down!!!
Please help; it's been to the garage twice since New Years' and I've run out of ideas as nothing seems to be wrong at all :(
Thank you!

If this is really true and if tires, rims and suspension are OK, there can be only one thing causing something this severe, and that's bent frame.

Oh no...I was fearing this might happen. Possibly time to trade in for spares & upgrade bike :(

Make sure first it's a bent frame. Remove all panels and do some inspections..

So are you saying that if you try ride in a straight line the scoot wants to pull to the side? Sounds seriously dangerous if that is the case. Bent forks? Bent frame? Loose engine mounts?

also check the bearings in side the front tire you might get lucky and just need a new front rim.
at times the smallest bent will make the scoot ride funny. how hard of hit did you take. it will take a big fall to make things bend.
