Light front under hard acceleration over 200kph

WAfatboy · September 23rd, 2012, 05:05 AM

Had to wind off compression on the rear again today, seems that with more confidence and as I ride harder I have this issue of the front feeling light and shaking a little at high speed.

Smooths out at very high speed but it's unnerving. I thought I'd solved it with the harder spring but it was back with a vengeance today. Now have compression on 10. Actually starting to wonder whether I should try F setting as I never ride with a pillion.

Anyone else having this issue?

Thank you gentlemen.

Wallaroo the roads where you live are pretty similar to WA from what I can see (except with added goannas), are you riding on F on the road?
