Ducati's chatter problems prove elusive at the Jerez test, adding weight to the theory that “the less grip we have, the more vibration we have.”
test was to work on the chatter/vibration issue that has troubled many of the Desmosedici riders at some stage over the opening four rounds.
The vibrations, believed to originate from the grip character of the rear tyre, duly remained absent from the Ducatis during the Monday test.Interestingly, the KTMs seem to feel the opposite is the case for the RC16, Jack Miller saying as he left the test:"We still need to tackle the vibration issue when the track has a lot of grip."
“On Friday we changed many things just to improve the situation of the vibration and weekend we didn't have any. So maybe we solved this little problem. But we want to wait. I think Barcelona is a track where we can have some issues with vibration," said the Italian.“We were focusing on a different setting that could maybe help us in a track with less grip. So we used all the last runs on old tyres to test these kinds of settings for a track like Barcelona.
