It's not so much how you ride, as much as how the rear suspension is
setup. If the rear is too soft not enough preload or too soft a
spring than you will touch down hard parts. I have had my ST over far
enough so there is no chicken strip on the rear tire.. and the front
is close. I've never had anything touch.. I also have an Ohlin on the
rear with the correct spring for my weight and the bike with bags.
Keep in mind that the stock shock is a 13.75 kg spring which is good
for a rider about 170 lbs and Triumph does not take into
consideration the appx 30 lbs the hard bags add in their setup in the
owners manual.
