Spooky in a turn!
i have a 94 ninja zx-6, when going down in a right turn the bike feels fine, but when goin down in a left turn, feels spooky, feels like i dont have much control of the bike, the front tire has decent tread, could it be axle? bearings? any info will help, thanks

RE: Spooky in a turn!
imo - unless you have/or have hadanother bike that didn't feel spooky then its probably the driver.
(could also be the handle possition is off)
but people aren't simetric. typically one side stronger than the other, sometimes limbs are slightly longer than the other. it can make a difference in comfort untill you get used to it or adjust for it.

Check your rear swingarm for play/slop. Do this by jolting the tire side to side with your hands. There should be very little movement (if any) of the tire. The problem may also be in one of the tires itself. A shifted belt maybe.

A shifted belt? hmm
Rider input/comfy feelings are a major part so yes, that cannot be left out. Example, I am more comfy still sliding the ride on a lefty than on the right. That is not mechanical since I check all of my stuff on the ride. Mechanical wise? Check your stuff. Clip ons, rearsets, chain adjustment, rear brake adjustment, and general tightness.
Dang, edit: tires check included.
