| Fork dive
Had my first trip of the year on my 998S. Cycle cat bar risers have made a huge difference ....
However , after not really riding it that much last year, I was reminded of another "issue". (please note other bikes are GS ADV and a Buell M2).
When you hit the front brakes, and perhaps because they are so effective, the front of the bike dives ... to the point where it feels un-nerving.
I'm heavy ... 125 kgs, and preload is wound in ... Does anyone have any good suggestions re set-up. In theory the bike was set up re rebound and compression when I bought it from Forza italia.
It sort of ****es me off ... or do I just have to get used to it again. Or is the issue really that the brake feel is a little wooden ( to me it allways feels like they are an on/off switch)
