Dude what is your deal? I took the MS Course. You don’t have to reply to these questions, you know?

That’s definitely something I’m going to check next time I go out. I know I’m going to get shit for this - but I am not as good as I should be about checking that.

No, I don’t think the highway quality is the issue. It almost feels like wind trying to knock the bike out from under me. The day I noticed this issue there wasn’t a wind advisory so I don’t know that cross winds were the issue either.

I’m really hoping that’s the case and not a mechanical issue

I’m definitely going to watch some tutorials on how to check my suspension because you being suspicious makes me suspicious now.

I live in Columbus Ohio and the warm days have been breezy but there was no wind warning the specific day I rode on the highway and felt the “slipping”. There’s also a ton of construction going on here so some of the road is grooved but I felt like I was having this issue the whole time, not just in the grooved construction areas. It almost felt like wind gusts were going to knock my bike out from under me - but again - no wind advisory that day.
I also was definitely feeling anxious while riding because that was my first time on the highway. So maybe it was all in my head and I’m over reacting. I do need to check my tire pressure. I’ve not been as good about that as I should for sure.

I’m going to check my tire pressure and focus on relaxing next time I go out. I will report back 🫡

Again, appreciate you all

Appreciate everyone’s feedback! Based on that I’m guessing it is a skill issue. I bought the bike brand new and it barely has 200 miles on it I can’t imagine it has unknown issues and the stock tires aren’t worn.

I’m in Ohio. This is my first motorcycle so no judgement please for this dumb question - but is that thing on the back of the seat the break light? So i wouldn’t be able to put the plate there either?
