feel

It's probably just me (in my head) but I believe the V4S lacks front tire feel. If you've performed a basic sag you'll know the spring rates on the stock 2018 V4S are completely unsorted (which I hope to address this winter). That being said, one way to get some additional feel is to lower the...

Hey guys, Anyone notice their front brakes on their 899/959 being soft/mushy. I have to pull the front brake lever all the way down just for brakes to bite. It can be a very scary feeling, especially when riding fast. I saw a thread on the 899 Forum...

Guys riding Panigale and S1000RR, a question, would you agree S1000RR gear change clearly more precise engaging than Panigale? My R gear change felt too soft to me, though functionally doing the job right. Changed stock rearsets to Gilles Tooling, slightly better, but not even close to Lightech...

I'm pretty sure it's operator error, but I could swear that my bike is anemic at best... sigh. I have 640mi on her, and two oil/filter changes, but everything is stock (well, I do have different brake levers). It really feels like a CBR250, especially from at signal or stop. Any of yous...

Hi, So i am having an on-going issue with the feel on my front brakes. Basically i find that after 500-1000km of riding my brake fluid turns a dark*ish colour and i lose feel in the front brakes. they feel softer and doesn't feel like i am getting the same braking force. Now a...

... for something, you can now buy a kit to modify the tail of your 899/1199 to make it look like the 12. vulturbike

Thought I would test the abs out pressing down hard on the rear brake. I didn't experience any pulsing feeling through the pedal, is this normal? Tried it both in abs 2 and 3 setting, felt more like the rear was skidding (slightly damp road).

Hi I picked up my new Pani S yday, rode 400+ miles on her to get home and two of the most instant things I noticed (especially with having the full Termi system fitted): A) I have a burn the side of a 10c piece on my inner right thigh B) I need to fit the 41T sprocket ASAP as around town...

I know these things are hard to describe as its a personal feel, but my r almost feels "......" in the 6-7k range. I know this isn't the sweet spot or where the bike is happy but mine seems "buzzy" through the bars and almost a vibration feel.It seems to come out of it at higher revs but i dont...

Ok, so I had a 2012 1199s last year and I loved it. I, however, ended up selling it for a few diff reasons (none of which have anything to do with this thread). Of course, half way through winter I started thinking about getting another bike. So I decided on a year newer 1199s, less issues with...

Every single time I go into the garage to sit on and admire my new Tricolore !!!

10 Cheapest Ways to Make Your Bike Faster

Shocked. Literally shocked so much I was scared to twist the throttle. That was how I felt this morning on my first ride of my 1199 after 4 days of riding a BMW R1200RT (loaner bike while mine was in the shop). Forget all the fussing over the bike that you read online and in magazines. The...

"As a piece of exotica, it's worth every penny, if you're lucky enough to have the cash - it's beautiful, exciting and involving. The chassis and engine mods will be a must for top teams in superbike and superstock, too, but the R doesn't feel different enough to warrant trading up from your...

Ok, a number of people have dropped me a line about suspension so I've decided to put together a thread about translating feel in to adjustment. First sag. Rider sag for either base or S is Rear @ 26-28mm this is with the rider fully kitted in what ever gear he or she wares and half a tank...

Has anyone gone the route that I'm considering to improve my 1199 Base non-ABS Panigale's front braking feel: 1. New pads, probably DP race pads. 2. SS front brake lines. 3. Flush of entire front system. I'm aiming for a rock hard lever, huge initial bite, and overall grater feel...

lets see what everyone's passenger has to say about the bike. My wife hate to sit on the bike in the city where we have to brake every now n then. She likes it when we are just accelerating(might give her a good siting position).

Hey guys, never had a bike with TC and was wondering what TC feels like when active. I was riding particularly aggressively in some twisty roads and noted a few times the bike felt as if the clutch was slipping..........only having 800+ miles on the bike and being very light on my clutch, I...

For those of you who have been lucky enough to have sat on the bike how does it feel? Is there anything about it you don't like? And lastly how long at the max do you think you'd feel like sitting on it for?
