Explained: What is the ‘chatter’ blighting Jorge Martin’s Ducati?

Analysing the 'chatter' problem in Jorge Martin's Ducati, and why it is so frustrating for a MotoGP rider

The Pramac rider somehow still qualified on pole position, won the sprint race, and finished the grand prix on the podium.“Chatter is, essentially, a frequency of vibration through the machine,” Michael Laverty explained on TNT Sports.“It is so frustrating, as a rider. Your handlebars start to oscillate.“Ducati have a mass damper in the seat unit, that does dampen out the frequency but it doesn’t seem to be doing enough right now.

Martin complained after the Qatar grand prix: “At the moment we have vibrations. I cannot use the rear brake and there are some points that are my strongest areas of riding which I cannot use.He added: “I’m not riding 100% of the package with the new bike. If we improve I guess we can be much more competitive.”
