Front end jack-knifing

Post by Addair435 »

Any help on what I should do with my suspension to get rid of this?

you would need to explain "jack-knifing" a little better in order to get help

Advanced steering settings:
increase steering dampener
lessen the steering lock angle and/or lower the restricted lock speed
lower steering strength
increase steering force

suspension:
lower rear preload and/or softer rear spring to shift the chassis weight more on the rear tire
increase front preload and/or stiffer spring
Increase front/both rebound damping
Increase fork oil

All have their drawbacks so it's a matter of finding a good compromise.

Try reducing "Restricted Lock Angle".

It may be how you are hitting the corner? The video helps but it would be easier to diagnose if we could see more.
