thanks Chris

Can you?
Anyone now how please?

thanks for the responses. Was seeing why this would happen today and even at a steady speed a gentle tap of the bars and let go makes the bars wobble like mad.

please feel free to turn a sensible question into a BWM banter post (again) but none of my previous bikes have done this and this one has only just started doing it. I'm putting it down to a just legal front tyre. i'll see if a new one cures it otherwise i'll be wondering if head bearings need checking etc.

I might even take a video if i think of it over the weekend. then decide how to post it without getting 6points.

I expect BMW have CCTV to record such occurrences.

anyone who feels brave can try this... it induces a mild tankslapper on my bike much to my amusement today.

3rd gear doing 40mph. accelerate hard to 50 then throttle off completely and let go the handlebars they start slapping about all over the place.

can reproduce at will.

is it just mine?

have touched both hero blobs down. you just need to trust yourself.

seems to have kicked me off. now logged back in but no forums showing. anyone else had similar?

I bought that Kawasaki mount fits perfectly

You hold the throttle open further for longer. Simple.

I've finally found a way to make progress better

It isn't graphite grey that's for sure

That's the 450 mine has same end but finishes under the pannier I've fitted heat deflectors to prevent anymore melting. But I love the sound.

Wondered when this would turn into a K16 thread.

Anybody removed the Cats? Fitted a power commander etc?
Is it worth it?
Should I get a ZZR ?

I have a shorter exhaust on mine but beware of melted panniers if the exhaust finishes too short. You might be alright if the exhaust ends with a tail pipe. My Delkevic ends really big and has warmed the plastic around the rear hinge. Nothing serious.

I'm still in two minds. I'm currently doing IAM training and an observer has the ZZR. He's just come back from 3000 mile trip to Spain and Portugal. Has fitted risers so that answers the long distance question.
Need to sort a test ride now.
I'm wringing the neck of the gtr and it's not scaring me anymore.
