I need some advice here. My KLR actually did throw me off yesterday, and it was bloody sore, but I've got no idea what I'm doing wrong.
It usually happens just when I'm stopping the bike, and I think it's when I've got the front wheen turned slightly to the left to make a left turn. The bike will suddenly come up out of the shocks and upset my balance completely, and then I have to struggle to keep the bike upright.
Yesterday I needed to put my foot out further to the left to keep my balance after this happened, but I was standing next to a high curb and couldn't move my foot and the next moment I'm down, with my foot stuck between the bike and said high curb.
So the question is, what am I doing wrong to cause the bike to come up like that?

Any help appreciated - Tx
