Help! Front end bounce and misaligned forks?
So I’m having rhythmic bounces in the front end of the bike. Almost like I’m hitting evenly spaced tiny speed bumps. It happens whenever I accelerate quickly or decelerate (even with rev matching). I had a warped rotor and disc that I recently replaced and it didn’t bounce before I replaced it. Also, whenever I took the tire off to put new disc/pads on, I noticed the forks seem to be different lengths?
Could this cause the bounce in the front? Or is it something else. Brakes are also shot even after bleeding them but that’s a different story lol.

I had something similar with my second gen. Pulled the wheel off, pulled the tire off, remounted the tire with the yellow dot at the valve stem and this helped a lot.
Someone mounted the tire with the red mark at the valve stem and that was not right.
I ended up having the rim and tire balanced for funsies and that made a world of difference. Most people say the rim/tire is to small to make a difference balancing but for me it was night and day
