Hi all just fitted pair of sip wheels, and s1 michelin tyres, but on some roads,it feels as if the back of scoot
is wandering," bit off putting", but think it could be the escort rear shock, not man enough...check tightened everything
I can think of....so thought of changing to a BGM rear shock....do you think this may solve the problem.
Im running a mugello225, with plenty go in it.

had swalbes on my TS1, along with Heindenau's, now conti's on SIP alloys, had wandering rear ends with std shocks, & all the gas ones, but Chiggy's converted R1's stops your ar*se twitching everytime you go over a crack in the road

Had the same feeling when running an S1 on rear . Didnt feel confident when cornering at higher speed and felt like it was going to slip away from me at any time. I change the shock for a better one but still felt the same . I then swapped the S1 for a conti and it feels much better.
