I had the grips replaced today, on my 2011 Multistrada 1200s Touring. As well as having the key re- programmed (both warranty issues). When I got back on my journey home in the horrendous wind, I noticed quite a lot of handlebar flex front to back. I know some bikes have this to reduce vibration but haven't noticed it on my bike before now. Can anyone confirm that it should be like this please, before I take the handlebar clamp and risers apart to check the bolts are all tight. Many thanks, Adz .
Thanks for the reply. I decided not to wait and went down in the garage to check. Everything is tight and the whole clamp and bars move back and forth with some pressure. I think there's some sort of anti vibration sleeves fitted in the risers. Maybe it was on the early 2010-2012 models or perhaps aftermarket (I'm the 2nd owner and this is my 1st Ducati) Any advice is greatly appreciated
Think you've done what's needed. If everything is tight . Most bikes of this type have rubbed bushes for anti vibration. Small movement ok.
