I have a K7 600. Just before putting my bike away for the winter last year, I noticed that from one day to another when I rode the bike the stearing was really off. The stearing was always fairly tight the way it should've been. But that one day whenever I would make a right turn in particular, it felt like as I was turing, the handle bars pulled extra to the right. Almost like if it losened up even more while I was turning. :hmmm:

I didnt know if this was caused by a loose screw or some other part... Has this ever happend to anyone??? Any thoughts???

Also, that same day while I was riding, a red light came on. Is this like the "check engine" light for bikes??? What does this normally mean??? :hmmm:

this could be your front brakes. I know turning definately feels weird trail braking, and when your on the brakes too far into a turn, so make sure your front wheel spins freely, and you dont have warped rotors, or a bad caliper. Also change/check your brake fluid.

So you dont think its like a problem with the stearing, eventhough its pulling???

The best way to describe it is like when a car needs a wheel alignment really bad, and it pulls to one side.

mine did that but i found that my tire pressure was off and adjusted it and it fixed it... it felt like the steering was turning or cutting in.... check the front tire pressure

+1 on the tire pressure, check it before every time you ride...
Check cable routing to be sure nothing is binding...
Check for mouse nests or other items (rags, etc) that may have fallen around the steering head during storage...you'd be surprised...

 

[...BUZZ...]

Chech tyre pressure,get the front of the bike up in the air and check for any notching in the steering from left to right also check your front brakes are not sticking,finaly check the front wheel is alinged correctly in the forks and lastly check your rear wheel is aligned correctly in the swing arm aswell as this can cause odd steering problems....:thumbup:

also was there a fault code showing when the red light came on..??? if the red light is still on take it in to your suzuki dealer so they can run a diagnostic on it to show any faults.....
