New to Forum - 1199 Tricolore

[BenF04]

Hello All,
I live in Herts, UK and have a Tricolore with full termi system and DP Race Seat ( much, much better than stock, at least I dont slide backwards anymore ). I sold my 1098S to fund the purchase and have had some teething troubles getting the bike to handle properly but the love affair is back on and we are happy again.
Hope to do Brands GP circuit in a few weeks.

Cheers,
Ben

What were your issues Ben?

Hello All,
The bike would weave around from the rear (similar to the feeling that you get when riding with a puncture or low pressure ), miss an apex and run wide out of corners. It actually felt as though it was hinged in the middle and when it was cranked over on high speed corners ( mid 130's ) it would start to shake the bars and try and spit me off. I ended up doing a reset on the suspension settings and then adding a bit of extra damping to the rear which vastly improved things. The front is still too soft but its now handling much better than it was.
I dont know if the stepper motors on the shocks got out of synch with what was showing on the display but a reset seemed to sort things out and at the stock settings it handled pretty much as expected.
Cheers,
Ben
