I have been very busy with things and mainly just riding to work and back on my KLR. I'd had all I could stand and got the Buell out yesterday and took off. It was a shock, I didn't remember it riding this rough and wanting to "Fall" into the corners. I couldn't understand what was wrong. I got home and thought about it a bit and a light turned on (not TOO bright though!) I've lost 35 pounds and haven't reset the suspension. So grabbed the manual and hit the garage and every adjustment need to be soften up by a couple of clicks. PLUS the tire were way low. Went back out today and YEP there's the Buell I remember! I still need to get a new set of tires as the Stradas are just about toast after 10,000 miles! Hope the next set last as long and work as well not that the Stradas are no longer made. Road Pilots any good? So it ya lost a bunch of weight (or gained) check your suspension setting it makes a big difference. |

Grab a set of Angel STs. I've ran through a few sets, and no complaints. |

Tire pressure made more of the difference than the suspension. IMO. Check them before every ride. |

Yep. I hadn't checked the front tire pressure in a while and the bike wandered and pushed in turns. The front tire was 16PSI light on pressure. |

I agree with the Pirelli Angel ST for new tires. That is what I replaced the stock Diablo's with, and I love them! |

I vote for PR2. Never tried the Angels though. |
