LEFT to RIGHT balance question...

Mitchlguzin · Aug 9, 2013

Hey everyone, I know this sounds weird but it's been bugging me for quite sometime...

When you let go of the bars cruising down the roadm does your 1199S tend to pull/lean left BUT when you hold the bars again, it feel's 100# dead on straight and balanced???

Before you mention wind or pitch on the road, trust me when I say I've tried it both ways AND on days without any wind...

Happened to me once, noticed it on my bicycles, ended up being an ear infection. NO JOKE

Did you recently change the front tire? How is it under heavy braking?

have you had your wheels balanced with wheel weights ? or probably adjust your steering damper...

You are sitting dead center on the bike? I have noticed if I lean ever so slightly to on side or the other, I get the same effect.

There was another thread on this. If searching here doesn't come up, try Ducati.org.
Don't say "...." if you go over there. They get pissy.

Mine does the same. Its irritating cuz i let go of the handlebars often to relax before stop signs and it too pulls hard to the left

Same thing...I can't place it why it's doing it. I am sitting dead center...hopped on my buddies 13 KTM...DOESN'T DO IT. Hopped on my old CBR 600RR that I sold to a friend...DOESN'T DO IT.

But it is DEAD ON straight when my hands are on the bars. I need a new set of tires and a service so I'll have the boys at Ducati Milwaukee figure it out...still under warranty
