When going into a turn and leaning the bars seem to want to turn in, its sorta normal...but on my 600 it seems to want to turn it a lot and sometimes i have to push semi-hard on the opposite bar. Just wondering if thats normal or is it an issue with the bike. thanks in advance.

Sounds normal aslong as it does on left and right turns. If you think its to flickable, try checking cold tire pressure. If it still bothers you trying using a different brand tire.

hmm alright ya it sounds normal to me too, what should the tire pressure be? or is it up to the tire? i got like metzelers, they are ok i guess.

Try being less aggressive with the bars on turn in and use more body weight to take the bend, small subtle movements should be all that is required to counter-steer.
The tyre pressure will be noted on the swingarm, if you have removed the sticker best refer to the handbook.
PS. Remember and take the reading when the tyres are cold.

ya it was the psi, it was like at 20 cold, i fille dit up to 36psi(stock) and it feels way better, air mustve leaked out or something cause the lil caps are off. thanks for the replies tho
So is countersteering something I should conciously do or is it something that should happen automatically?
