[QUOTE="Nanahanman, post: 1232677, member: 40289"] I have has this '06 for 2 seasons now and never been really happy with the way it feels in corners. Did the full length of hwy 219 from Virginia up to Buffalo last summer and, in the twisties, it felt unpredictable. I'm not a peg scraping type of rider but I do like to have some fun in the corners but this was making me uncomfortable. Replaced the tires with Michelin Road 4, used the higher tire pressure recommended by others and set the rear shock to hard. Checked the front rebound as well. What a difference! Nice and smooth on the turn in and stable as can be in the corner. Just completed a run up 119 and 219 and very happy now [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
