Hi,
Ive had my SV650S for 7 months now, but i dont seem to have much front end grip. Before I bought the bike, i read loads of reviews that said the SV was one of the best handling bikes people had ridden, but when i go around roundabouts and such it feels like the front end is sliding from underneath me and i have to keep sitting the bike up.
Im not sure if its a confidence thing or not as this is my first big bike. The bike came with Dunlop tyres on it, but having read all the reviews on tyres here, you guys only seem to be discussing either Bridgestones or Pirelli's. One of my friends has a Bandit with Bridgetones on and seems to be able to outride me at every corner (he has been riding longer than me tho!!!).
I keep feeling like i have to go around tight corners with the bike almost vertical to stop it sliding.
Has anyone else here experienced anything similar or able to give me any advice??
Thank you and sorry for the long first post .
