the only advice i could give is you said you have a 5mm toe in, maybe you should have "0" toe in ?? so the wheels are straight with the bike rear tyres .its only a little bike i think all that toe in and cambers are for the bigger bikes like 140kg+ type bikes. hope this helps??

cousin had a chinese 150. it was like that. very twitchy, he was a useful sort of a bloke but could not make it "right". it sits in the shed with some kind of carb issue, he just cant be bothered working on it, it was also gutless ,,, his mates chinese 110 would go around it.

It had a really wierd tread pattern on it, we both wondered if the tyres were to blame

definitely go about 5mm toe out.
this will make it a bit more stable as rider weight shifts from side to side.
it won't tuck in under itself and knife into corners so quickly.

but it won't cure it completely.
nothing to be lost having a go though.
