Hello everyone
I am new here - so please bear with me.
I have just bought a 2006 Breva 1100 with 11,000 miles. Love it. However, it weaves quite a bit on the bends and, when I first got it (a week ago) I was grounding the centre stand. So I increased preload on the rear shock and that seemed to sort out the grounding problem. The weaving, though continues (and I haven't come from an R1 - my other bike is a Bandit 1200 and they are notorious for handling). In fact it weaves more than my old 850T - and that was 35 years ago.
The manual says to turn the preload wheel in X clicks. But my wheel doesn't click! In fact, I have turned it in maybe 20 full rotations and it is still turning nice and smooth and no clicking at all.
Help. Am I doing something wrong? What should i do to improve the suspension? (I weigh 75 kilos / 12 stone; no passenger)
Thanks
Motty
