Hello all! I am recent 17 Rocket III Roadster owner. This bike is a lot of fun to ride!
I have noticed (especially) at lower speeds that when I turn the dragon it feels like the front wheel/handlebars want to oversteer into whichever direction I am turning. I have also noticed that if I hit any small bumps or imperfections in the road when I am experiencing the turning I described above it feels almost as if the front tire wanders as the shock rebounds. This would kind of be the same feeling as driving a vehicle towing a trailer that has a much too heavy tongue weight for the vehicle and the front tires on the vehicle wander a bit (except you are in a curve on a motorcycle). Is this normal? Does the dragon just really dislike slow speed turns/curves? The only other experience that I have on a motorcycle was with my 07 Kawasaki Vulcan Custom 900 which I did not experience this with turning. Could it be that this is a much bigger and heavier bike and that's how they are? Thanks for any responses!
