Afternoon
So I've just about hit 600 miles on the R18 and I'm less than impressed with the wet / damp tyre weather grip.
Noticed a couple weeks ago the back end would snake and slide in the damp / wet on roundabouts and low speed corners .... I thought it was due to
Went out again and left it in "Roll" mode to be smoother ..... wasn't wet per se but there were a couple of wet patches of water running over the road and bike still lost grip .... and I mean it went a good 6 inches - or so it felt.
Any ideas ? Any one else had this ?
I've never had this on the Harley's but was running either Dunlops or latterly Avon Cobra Chrome .... the Avons were superb
Cheers
Simon

Noticed a couple weeks ago the back end would snake and slide in the damp / wet on roundabouts and low speed corners .... I thought it was due to
- Tyre pressure
- Tyre not scrubbed enough
- "Rock" mode acceleration out of corners a bit too enthusiastic
