Odd Vibration

I just heard Good Vibrations by the Beach Boys on the radio.

Keep it on the subject this is serious stuff we are talking about, now we think we have problems

Oh yeah, the SD R & GT are also beastly, but maybe a little too pogo-ish at both ends. The rear shock is too soft and the torque lifts the front way too easily. *Edit* Apparently the 2020 has top of the line WP Apex so that should help

Even the diddy ones need Anti-wheelie - 105bhp (115 tampered with ) in 170kgs. And they have an extra vibration damper in the head just for the valve gear. The 890 also has WP-APEX. Nothing wrong with too much torque with traction control and anti-wheelie. Yes - folks - The worm has indeed turned for me.

I'm going to need to ride the 790 and 890.

The 1290 TC and WC can be less than predictable. Sometimes you take off hard and everything works as it should, and the next you pull a 30 inch wheelie while merging into traffic...

British/Taiwan engineering at its best, they are so precise they save money on lead weights did I also mention I have a bridge for sale

That's not odd if you're not having issues. In a perfect world you don't need weights. There's no reason to put weights on a wheel that's balanced. I would say you got lucky.

It's ODD vibrations, not OLD vibrations.

Ha ha mine has weights on the rear but none in the front.
