Your not losing traction are you?
I had it the other day on a tight uphill but it was the traction control that came on
First time since owning the bike its come on without the wheels leaveing the road
It was very wet and I think I hit a drain cover or something
No definitely not loosing traction, not the bike anyway
, my chicken strips are a little thinner now but in still not that brave

If i was doing a 180-degree hairpin turn on an RT i think i would be doing no more than 5mphVIDEO

Panman 40 ive never experienced your scenario could it be isolated to your bike and something in eletrics? Or have you experienced it on another RT.

An honest sensible reply from Panman which may help to answer the OP question.
Only if he's looking for answers comparing a faulty 1250 to a 1200TC
The GS 'is' the better bike :-)

You also can check the lean angle of your latest trip on your NAV5 if you have one.
