| 996 stering head angle?
Sooo - bought 996 through here. All good. Marvellous in fact!
Quick query though - the steering head angle is set to race, ie steeper. The givaway for this was the fact that the steering lock now cannot work. Nevermind, i've lived with it like that for about 1,000 miles, but in fitting a 190/55 rear i might have tipped it over the edge. At Anglesey recently i couldn't dial out a feeling that the front would tuck -never had this on my old bike. Similarly when riding on dodgy B-roads. just a bit too twitchy for its own good. Just rummaged in a haynes manual who are quite emphatic that this should not be switched from the road setting.
You lot have acres road & track experience -what say you? Many thanks, jamess |
