[QUOTE="Joe, post: 122114, member: 4159"] Hi Vic, what You are suggesting seams something different from what I am trying to tackle - [U]I am experience a little rattle only.[/U] [B]The behaviour you are explaining can be forced [/B][I](and unintentionally happened to me)[/I][B] [/B]by quickly accelerated the bike from 2nd gear but rather then swithcing to 3rd engaging 1st gear instead. [B]The ESA is doing it`s job[/B] by eliminating instant shock from rear tire to crankshaft. What You hereby experience is like an inverted [B]Automatic Breaking Systems (ABS).[/B] The rear tire oscillates at dry streets - I would say - at about 1/3 of the frequency you know from today`s cars. And Yes, [B]You then clearly hear metallic sound of the ESA bashing to the end plate.[/B] (Good, that the rear tire does not break out sidewise :). The oscillation frequency is mainly determined by the total ESA sping constant and difference in rear tire friction between tight grip and sliding grip) [/QUOTE]
