i got a secondhand g 310r 2 weeks ago with just 1.5k miles on it. looks stellar but then i figured the front suspension was a little soft but then i searched up online and apparently it was just a common experience so i dodged it and moved on. but when i rode it for the second time, i realized that it gets really bad at slow speeds because i hit the front brake while i was moving slow at an intersection (imagine THE HORROR), the bike voe and pulled left then messed with my balance so the bike tipped over and it fell on me. it was so heavy. this is the first time i have ever had this issue because i'm already been biking for years. this is THE FIRST TIME something like this happened. i thought i don't need to upgrade the suspension but this is just a bike with a very very low miles on it. it's not me, i'm fit and my body type is muscular but not heavyweight. is it the forks issue? the oil or the spring? anyone with a simlar problem? what to do?
 
My opinion is that you should try changing the oil to a heavier one for example 10w because is second hand and the fork oil might be old. you'll also might consider adding more progressive springs or even preload adjusters so that you can improve stability. dont forget to check on the front alignment and tires, they need to be in a good condition. go with smooth and slow progressive braking and if none of that works consider professional tuning.
 
your motorbike suddenly pulling left that's dangerous, man. however, itcould mean that there's a problem with the steering or suspension. probably it's time to bring it to the mechanic
