[quickrik]

Hi All,

Just picked up my first Ducati, a 748SPS. It is a wonderus thing. Much fun to be had, even in the rain.

However I have a couple of niggles with it:

1) It oversteers horribly at low-medium speeds, Do they all do that?. Tyres/pressures are ok. How can I check the previous owner hasn't screwed all the geometry up.

2) I wear SMXPlus boots (with the Teflon heal) and I cant get the f**** side stand down. Have to reach down with my hand and get it covered in chain lube.

Cheers Rik...
