Kawa Afterthought
Has a anyone experienced severe tank slap while riding on gravel roads that turn into sand, going about 40 to 45 mph, with the 700 GS? I experienced severe tank slap three times during my ride on portions of the continental divide and am wondering if I just had my bike loaded incorrectly, ( I was traveling with a full load of touring equipment for three weeks of camping). Kind of has me a bit timid to tackle gravel roads at a decent speed now so I'm wondering if there is something I should be looking at on the bike other than packing it differently. I've already moved most of my pack lower with the purchase of decent soft side bags that gets all of my camping equipment other than the tent off the back seat. Only thing left on the back is my GIVI trunk box which only carries my laptop and cloths. Plus my Rotopax 1 gallon gas can, but will place that on the front somehow to move the weight around.... Thinking of upgrading my shocks and and front fork springs......
