might be like motor X riding, i was always better at right hand corners.
it might have somthing to do with your extra weight on drivers side?
where,s ur LPG tank?
my SWB corners like its on rails, its got very heavy suspension,
believe me my back dont like it, potholes kill me. ouch.

pedders do a FULL suspension check for $14 in the hope that they find something ::)
