2010 st

May be worth just checking the tyres; pressure and condition. I have never been one to fiddle with suspensions myself but it may be worth taking the the bike to a suspension specialist and have it set up. K Tech suspension have a list of their dealers on their website.

Triumph have tried to put a little more weight forward on the 2011/12 model with the battery right up in front of the tank and this is the model I run and it appears quite planted if a little harsh on the suspension. Have to say untill the weather warms up and I can get on some warm, dry un - salted Tarmac I have little confidence to push the bike to find its limits.

 

Jack where you from? i'm in the south east and know a few places... T3 racing & H&M to name a few.... I think i one of the only southerners on here anyway... feeling lonely....

 

I'm not quite as South and East as you Screwball, but South Oxfordshire, so you're not that lonely!

 

At least its the right side of London.... I get a nose bleed going across the river....

 

Is the bike new or used? You've checked the pressure etc. Might sound a bit obvious, but just wondering if the tyres might be squared off or even had it. A few years back I had a bandit, the handling went right off, thought I needed a new shock, changed the tyres (even though the tread looked ok) & it was transformed, as was my confidence in it.

 

i used H&M racing to set up my suspension on my KTM.. the difference was like night & day.. best £100 you can spend on your bike... they set it up for my weight (or close) and it made a massive difference and inspired confidence.

May be worth a try .......

 

Testing at H & M:

 

Yep thats about the same weight as me...

 

When they tested mine:

 

something wrong with your mirror... we all see



:biggrin:

 

Fuck me, is that you??? :wink:
