A question for those who know their shit:
The last couple of rides I've had have brought back an old feeling which I would like some clarity on. It occurs usually on the apex of a corner, maybe just before and continues through the corner with the throttle cracked on. Normally over a bumpy corner (not necessarily mega bumpy), the rear end seems to wallow around a lot. It's not just up and down but seems to be around and around. I know this is affecting my traction!
I also know it will be a suspension issue but is it also a rider issue? I was wondering if others get this regardless of suspension setting (ie. some corners on the street will do that)? Or, is there a fix for all corners? Can someone go through the practical mechanics of it please. -385-
