Tire pressure has been common theme with twitchy feeling on the XB12S. They are sensitive to setup and tire pressure.

I set mine to the recommended 34 front and 36 rear (cold) for any tires not just the Diablos.

I find the preload for my weight and the compression and rebound damping for the weight below works for me.

This link is very helpful.
