Curious consequences of WOT operation of the ST on gravel roads. With traction control in T-2 WOT acceleration results in this gyroscopic weaving or better said fish tailing of the motorcycle. This phemonem acerbates as speed increases during WOT operation. Only decreasing throttle stops the process. Had similar experience on the KLR at steady speeds of 60 + MPH on gravel but thought it was a KLR thing. The ST dosen't seem to mind 60 + gravel road speeds, but dosen't seem to like WOT acceleration on gravel for any period of time.
Didn't have the nads to try WOT on gravel with traction control neutralized. Had a bad experience on an FJR using WOT on gravel.
Any experienced non=tarmac riders care to comment?
