Handling on a Tuono

I find the handling a bit reluctant compared to my old Falco. I mean unwilling to turn in on corners under 40-50mph. Could this be due to the steering damper being too tight? Or is she picky on tyre choice? Also, the rear Sachs shock seems quite good, or is it me??? The one on the Falco was complete shite
Any comments greatly received

Less rings through the top yoke? If I remember a tight damper leads to steering over correction , apparent in a straight line.

You could eliminate the damper by taking it off or winding off the dampening as much as you can.
Possibly the more upright position makes the front feel a bit more vague.
You've got a lot more leverage to play with, so try a nudge of counter steer to get it to drop in.

Cheers guys, out for a blast tomorrow so I'll give it a bit of muscle and wind out the damper too. See what happens...

Loosening off the damper made a difference, but I think it's more the upright riding position moving the COG away from the front wheel. It's not bad, but it will take a bit of getting used to... Need a smaller front cog again, missing that mental leap forward off the throttle
