Reading an old review of the 1100EVO (2012) and the claim is made that its got a "nervous" front end. Never heard this about the bike in the past. Does the suspension need a proper setup to alleviate this, is a steering damper a must have or is this total BS?
here's the comment from MotorcycleUSA.com
"The Monster 1100 EVO’s wonderful cornering prowess has a trade off on the interstate, however, as on the freeway the front end is busy and borderline nervous. A constant wiggle comes from the bars as the front tire follows rain grooves and seams, and any gust of wind or turbulence from a nearby tractor-trailer makes the shimmy even worse. This condition is frustrating, but you’ll forget all about it the minute you reach your favorite winding road. A steering stabilizer would be a must have if you were planning on using the Monster on the freeway frequently. It’s a shame that the long distance riding is compromised by the flighty front-end, because the cockpit would allow for extended stints."
