The front wheel on my 07 firebolt dosn't stay on the ground! does anyone else have this problem. It's like it would prefer to be in the air...and at night my headlight keeps pointing at the tree tops! should i try front end weights or something?

I've heard of this problem before.
Lock yourself in the garage with the bike running until the problem stops and all should be just fine...

We really shouldn't encourage you...

I would sell it right away and not tell the person buying it of your problem. Also did you use the correct type of air in the front tire? But hey just get used to riding a unicycle it may work for you.

Once your wallet is sufficiently drained (from loops, tickets, and insurance) the balance of the bike will be restored and it'll get a little easier to keep the front down. : )

Let most of the air out of front tires..they're too light. Also, pay HEED to what Reepicheep said- this happens in every case!!
