Handling and Suspension Setup

Discussion in 'Panigale' started by ChamMTB, Jul 15, 2012.

  1. I'm not sure myself
     
  2. Clearly there is some doubt as to whether a youngling such as yourself owns a Pani. Not saying you do or you don't, but I suspect that's what is being hinted at!

    In the old days of Pistonheads forum there was the 'tin of custard test'.
    They had so many saxo/corsa driving visitors claiming they owned a whizzy new car/bike, any new claim had to be substantiated by a pic of said car/bike with a tin of custard on the roof...:biggrin:
     
  3. If someone doesn't believe I own a Panigale then tough shit, anyway as from tomorrow I won't so he needn't worry.
     
  4. My one and only Panhandle ride was memorable... for the wrong reasons. Ok it was raing which is never good, it seemed very flightly even crossing the lines in the middle of the road it felt as though the wheels had dropped in to a big rut as I dopped off the white line at the other side and thats about a 5mm drop!.

    ChamMTB hit the nail on the head "It changes direction like a housefly, whether you want it to or not. It is also desperately unstable, shimmies at speed and is horrible on bumpy UK roads"

    I just put it down to being a demo bike and not set up for me, but I havejumped on other bikes and felt at home pretty quickly.
     
  5. I'd be interested in your thought on the Aprillia...:cool:
     
  6. I have owned the RSV4 before, it is a superb bike. I'm really looking forward to the APRC version
     
  7. How did you find service and spares?
     
  8. not brilliant but I'm prepared to give it another go !!
     
  9. Foul ups?
     
  10. A couple buts its a very long winded story, but that was then so hopefully things have improved.
     
  11. Sorry - Meant was it Fowlers?
     
  12. No it wasn't, but the new one is from there, I haven't had any issues with them to be fair.
