What?s the wear like on your front tyre? I?ve had vague feelings from front when tipping in on tyres which had lost there profile. Went as soon as I replaced the tyre.

Its all about timesounds like your masking a problem the wrong way to me.
why dont you just go get it looked at by someone that knows rather than second guessing what it is or isn't doing,and then covering over the issue in a way that totally ruins the feel of the bike,wonding up the steering damper certainly isn't a solution to vague front end feel
I often get told theres a rider problem!Steering damper is purely to aid possible headshake. If you have it on more than 5 or 6 then it's either a set up problem or rider problem. On track I have it at 2 or 3.
I have no idea how the ddc actually works. Hence why i come on here to try find out.so you have a fair understanding of how a damper works,more than most it would appear if you design+build them,but you cant figure out if your forks are working or not?
surely,as someone that builds dampers/valving you must know how important it is to have the correct settings,springs,oil weight,air gap etc but due to time constraints wont get your own sorted?
whip em' out,send them off get them sorted,turn ypour damper back down and go enjoy the bike for what it is and what it can do rather than "making do" and masking the issues.
Im about 100kg kitted. That may be why i feel the front is soft.Went to MCT yesterday. Darren put two new lower rated springs in as i am 65kg heading towards 66kg for xmas . He also adjusted my steering damper at the same time. The bike definitely felt more agile and inspired more confidence. The weather conditions and lack of different road surfaces its difficult to say how much better it is but now i have peace of mind its setup correctly for me and to adjust for a softer ride if i wush i can do it electronically. MCT did say that DDC is more hype than actually benefit and given the budget for a road bike its ok but he was not a fan. He was more complementary on the Ducati system though. My view its a brilliant bike and now its even better.

Its a morning, roll in roll out is <?350 inc parts labour vatIm about 100kg kitted. That may be why i feel the front is soft.
Can i ask how much it costs to do the fork spring change and how long did he spend on it? Did you wait with him or just leave your bike there
Well this is some of the problem. I usually run some pretty quick lap times that would be good enough to race but im quite heavy so i find it difficult to maintain the pace.When I hear people say the DDC is mostly hype I'm sure they have not used the Gen3 bike for any length of time. I complain about the front feel on track but the system as a whole is definitely plenty good enough right up to at least mid table clubman level racing in my opinion. Much more importantly it is way better than traditional suspension on the road where the surface is changing all the time. I did think the Ducati 1299 system was better on track but it was not noticeably better on the road dealing with variable surfaces which is what it's really for. You dont really need active suspension on track where the surface is almost always smooth but you definitely benefit massively using on the road.
On my 2015 zx10r road bike i did 1.59 at snett and 1.34 brands gp. Cant remember the other times off the top of my headsimple solution put a cartridge kit in front and shock on rear problem solved when you say quick lap times what you on about? times wise

Its not bad but i always felt i could go quicker but i was loosing on corner exit so i decided to get the s1000rr as its better on corner exit but mines not as good on corner entry so probably no better off at presentGood pace.
Not sure i agree with that.at our general level,corner entry+exit has nothing (really) to do with the bike,it's the rider.obviously it helps if you actually get your bike set up properly.....
