Re: Just Curious?
929 and 954 are more proned to it then the 600's oh and r1s are the worst for it. You can get one under heavy acceleration in which the front end becomes light.
I'v only had one ever on a 929 without a stabilzer, I was lucky cause it stopped on its own, but it was full out side to side motion.
