Hey all! Happy New Year from Australia
Wanted riders opinions on this...
I'm finding that as I initiate a turn at slower speeds (e.g. going through some tight twisting corners around 20-45kph or even roundabouts) that the steering wants ro continue pulling into the corner and I find myself having to counter steer a little the opposite way against the turn. I know the S10 likes to fall into the corner but this just feels very excessive and unnerving in the wet.
Is this a common trait? Tyre pressures are fine, I'm using Michelin Anakee Adventures with quite a bit of tread left. Triple tree bearings only have about 8k and no sensation of a notch on the race. 2014 model.
Ryan from Fortnine (youtube) indicated he felt the S10 wanted to fall into the corner but a friend of mine tried my bike today and he said he really had to fight it to turn at first and then "counter turn" the turn. He rides a 1200 GSA so that says a lot to me if he has to fight it.
Any opinions or possible causes? Or is this just the S10's M.O. ? Had the bike for 3 years now and it's been like this from day 1.
Regards
Paul
