Anyone experiencing this. When coming to a stop the front end seems loose. Its difficult to keep the bars straight.

No ! And if you are experiencing this...your bike has a serious problem. Before it kills you, you would be best to have this thoroughly checked out.

To EVERYONE...when you post a post like that, please tell all of us...how many miles are on the bike...is the bike 100% stock, or have you added anything that might affect this ?

I would ask YOU...what tire pressures are you running ? I know what the pressures are supposed to be...but I want to know what you really are running...not what the silly book says.

yes, my F6 B also does this. I think it's because of my height :-) full-size GL 1800 also did it. I'm a little on the short side. This happens to me every time I come to a stop. The bar will turn in the direction of whichever foot. I put down might be the lean angle. I'm 5 foot five

Miles its stock and I am running 41psi front and rear with less than 2000 miles. My 2012 Level 2 also did it. I changed the suspension setting from 0 to 8 solo riding and it was a lot better but when I tried it on my wifes F6B she said it was worse

Just for the hell of it when coming to a stop try looking straight ahead instead of down where the front wheel is.

Why would I be looking at the front wheel

Just over 2000 miles.
No Issues.

I've ran 36 41 in every GL1800 to date. I'm now on my fourth one with even tire wear. No issues whatsoever! To each his own, but I'll stick with what Honda recommends.

My Cross Country does the same thing when you don't have enough air in the rear suspenstion.

40/41. Front ends on the F6B should not be loose at all. 4600 miles on mine and it is tight.
