ok i have a 2008 CRF250 and ive raced most of my life. since you have checked your wheel bearings and spokes and havn't found a problem then i suggest you check your suspention. believe it or not your suspention has a lot to do with the way your bike handles in corners. when you come into a corner, you hit your breaks which compresses your suspention and then your back on the gas and off the break and the suspention comes back up. So it may be to stiff or possible too soft. the only other suggestion i can give you is you may need to work on your form in corners, maybey your not low enough..and remember to keep your elbows up....i hope this solves your problem, thanx
 
I just got my 2009 kx250f in February... and in corners it feels like the rear tire steering in the opposite direction of the turn... have checked all swing arm bearings, wheel bearings, spokes, but did not find anything... this could be the cause of my fib/tib break in April...
 
Yeah Eric, sucks for you my dear crippled friend, maybe the top end or something like that, well i aint smart enough for that, and u know it since u always tell me that anyways.....ur mean to me sometimes, jk, jk my bestest buddy Eric, u know i am just answering this question just to right? of course u do
 
You may have the front wheel just a little too soft and that makes the back feel like it is going straight ahead. So adjust the front and see if it makes a difference
