Mine doesn't, now at about 30,000 since new in June 2011.
My permanent setting (irrespective of luggage load, solo or with pillion, rarely use the topbox) is:
Sports, two up with luggage. I never change it.
Good for 140 mph plus down French D roads. Screen up or down, it makes no odds.
Metzler Z8 tyres, both front and back at 42 psi.
What I have noticed is that the bike is very susceptible to shakes, shimmies and the odd weave when the tyres start to wear, when it will then really track irregularities in the road. * The Metzlers seem to be OK wear'wise for a period and then wear very suddenly. I regular go through a full front and back set at about 4,500 miles each time. Few genuine motorway miles, mostly French N and D roads.
So rapid is the wear once you get close to the wear bar at 1mm, it 's a very quick step thereafter to the canvas. You can really feel it go fast, the bike will slip and slide and it struggles to cross the plateau between the worn flatter centre and the curved edge. I now keep a careful note of the mileage when the new tyres are fitted as a pair and watch out once they pass the 4000 mark.
The bike still (and has always) pulled to the left.
* It's easy to guess that a German autobahn has tramlines, worn by car tyres. If you are in these, or more particularly near the edge of the tramline, then the bike may well weave a bit as it tracks either side of the edge.
