Are the 15's easier to steer than the 10's ?

Any opinions on this ?

Thanks, SR

My 2015 is not any easier to steer than my 2012 was, but I didn't think it was hard to steer. To me the new frontend on the 2014/15 just feels more stable in the curves and has a bit better ride. I know some people don't like the new linked brakes, and I understand why, but I like them.

The degree of rake has not changed so there should be no difference in ease of steering, but the fork tubes are larger, thus the feeling of being more stable in the curves.

No rake change, just bigger forks and a large bill for the 25,000 mile neck bearing service.

I have some neck and shoulder problems from old injuries and riding the TG can cause me some pain from turning it in the curves.
Thanks for the help

If I'm not mistaken,the TG triple trees have around 2.5deg of rake. You could install a pair of Zook's 5deg or even 6deg trees and those would almost seem like power steering. Sure would reduce the stress on your neck and shoulders.

They can't hammer your warranty. Buy the service manual and keep the receipt, buy the grease that meets their specifications and keep the receipt. Any issues, stick it right up their back side with the MM warranty act. They can't demand you to do something like that to retain your warranty, if they do, they have to provide it at no cost.

Truth be told I would say you can go 50k then just change them out...if they start to go bad you would be able to feel it in the steering...I am waiting for someone to tear into it and see if there is a fix...
