You must have better roads than we do up north. On some bumpy roads when giving it a thrashing mine flaps like mad. Only on very bumpy roads though.

No, sold my 1098 and now got an 848.

It does not do it all the time but it did it a couple of times and it was enough to make me feel more confident having a damper on.
