Ducati Multistrada – The End of Sportbiking As We Know It [OWD.net]

UFO do you find that you have to give the bars some serious force to get it to stay in a turn sometimes?

I still need to setup my suspension as I suspect that has something to do with it.

FWIW: I do not find that I have to keep applying pressure to the bars in order to keep a line through a corner.  Well, I can at least say that if I am, it certainly is not enough for me to warrant mental processing power towards it.  Also, it is certainly is NOTHING like my 2008 C-14.  Kinda of a, "Well no duh," thing, but I figured I'll throw it in there.

I had my service technician at the shop I go to dial up the front pre-load to more suit my ready to ride weight.  I think I want to dial it back just a bit though.

No, nothing I would call "serious."  But keep in mind I came off of riding an FJR for 7 years.  Nor is it a twitchy, razor sharp 600 supersport in the handling department.  Handles and tracks brilliantly through corners on the street.

Its still ugly.

It could also be that I'm running a tad low on the pressure up front but I find that sometimes I do have to give it a good yank to get it to turn.  I think it only happens in slow tight corners and when I'm still on the brakes.

So I just checked my front tire pressure...it was 28psi.  

So I upped it to 32psi.  It should feel much better.
