Just spoke to my dealer and he think the
'over steering" problem is due to the shock absorbers that can't take the heavy load at the turns. Do anyone face this problem what do you think and how can we overcome the problem. On my other post I "blamed" the tires for the over steering, but after I spoke to my dealer I question the "tires problem"

You are the first I've seen reporting an oversteer problem.
Mine has a bad understeer or push. It just doesn't like to turn, especially at low speed. IMO, it is a combination of suspension/steering geometry, tire roll and weight balance.
I have had improvements to the steering by playing with the toe setings but sacrificed stability at speed.
The stock tires have weak sidewalls and roll real bad in a turn and that will create steering issues. I've read where tires will help but may make the steering a bit heavy.
The front end is light for a machine with this much power. Everytime you touch the throttle during a turn, it transfers the weight away from the front end. I've noticed when I load my front rack box on the heavy side it gets much better.
