     Martin,
     
     I was one of the people having a similar handling problems as 
     yourself. Martin Wilson was the other person but since he's changed 
     his Sprint for a B12 he's probably not too worried any more.
     
     After spending a weekend with all the bodywork off the bike and going 
     over every chassis nut and bolt with a torque wrench and the manual I 
     was tearing my hair out. I did check the tyre for signs of cupping but 
     must admit I didn't spin it and look for deformations. I'll check the 
     tyres profile carefully over the weekend. 
     
     Were the deformities in the sidewalls or the threaded part of the 
     tyre? 
     
     Thanks for the heads up. That could have lead to a very messy problem.
     
     Martin
     Dublin, Ireland

     The tire was removed and sure enough there was some form of separation 
     of the plys internal to the tire. When I was taking a look at the 
     inside of the tire there were two very deep tears in the internal 
     rubber.
