Anyone else having problem with the fork being unstable? If I hold the tire I can turn it about 15 cm without the bar? moving. Not smoothly but still, it seems quite unstable when going offroad.

Any solution exept buying new forks?

Are all the clamps, wheel spindle and head nut tight?

Yes, they are. It seems to be a bad fork simply. Or is there a way to adjust it? Seems weird to me but you never know til you know:)

Or does anyone know a replacement-fork, meaning forks from other bikes like yamaha, honda etc (cross/enduro) that fits?

They make fork braces that clamp onto the lower section of the forks that help stiffen them up and keep them from twisting.

Of course you'll have to do a lot of searching for a brace that fits or make one yourself.

Yeah, you're right! I remember my old Yamaha DT50 on which I put such things on. I'll keep my eyes open for something like that, thanks.
