The tire is a stock size Elite 2 on the back with 42psi in it. Two up with maybe another 20 lbs of gear.
First chance at some real twisties but two up and keeping a safety margin, not dragging pegs. I didn't feel anything odd other than a slight wallow/hinge in the middle feeling at _my_ limit which I assumed was the softly sprung damped suspension. The rubbing appears to be from the brake stay on the side wall. I can't feel any play in the wheel or swingarm when I try to twist it. Is this normal or an indication of worn bearings somewhere? Anything I can check/test?
ps. In three years of normal riding/commuting there have never been any issues.
