thanks for the replies,i think ill try a new tire before i do any fork lowering or anything like that,the bike has the tires on it from when i bought it,both are dunlop 752 i havent had it up to bullgap yet(was supposed to hit bull gap last weekend on the way back from tomahawk but we were too tired from a 70 mile run)are these tires i have not good for the sand? and the front tire looks skinny on the bike,should i go to a wider front to a 90/100/21 instead of the skinnier 80/90/21? also when i get some extra cash i do want to try a steering stabilizer but i have been riding in sand for over 20 years and i know sand will make the bike unstable but my problem feels like once in a while only in the medium depth sand while i am riding someone comes up and kicks my tire to the side(thats what it feels like)i probably should have posted this after i tried a new tire but also wanted suggestions on a good sand tire,i have heard all good about the michelin s-12 so will most likely go with that,ill check that link from kxt500.,also i am running about a half tread approximately 752 dunlop 110/90/19 in the rear but it gets good traction still.
