  • ended up on a largely empty stretch of motorway last night, bit blustery but not really strong winds, doing 70 (give or take 50%) and the front end was really light, disconcertingly so.
    Not under massive acceleration or anything, just cruising along (maybe winding it on a bit, but not fistfuls)
    Could be a combination of the upright position, bags of torque and power and the fact I haven't really done any motorway miles on it yet to get the feel for it at sustained (moderate) speeds.

    Reckon I might need to faff about with the suspension pre-loads and see if I can dial it in a bit to feel more planted.

    On another note, the Pilot Road 3s are very confidence inspiring, having done a great number of miles on the Tranny with trailwings (dual sport) tyres, I knew my limits of grip, but the PR3s just keep gripping. Threw myself about on a few roundabouts, and had a hoot.

  • My Tiger did this a while. Check your preload and tyres. With my side boxes, It also got a bit funky once I reached 85 or so.
    In other cases, I've read the way the air hits the screen effects the front as well. I had it with the screen as tight to the body as possible, which diminished when I put washers between it and the clocks.
    Maybe placebo? Who knows.

    Tyres and suspension are main culprits though.
