Honda did not get maximum result at the opening series in Losail Qatar. The rider said that the chassis is too soft and it is become a problem. It was estimated that it take at least three races to fix this problem.

There is only one Honda rider in the top five on Qatar MotoGP which is Andrea Dovizioso. The Italian rider was flanked by three Yamaha and a Ducati.

Chassis design is predict to be the main problem for Honda. The reason is the design that used in Losail, makes the bike becomes too light to be ridden. This had affected the balance.

“It’s hard to ride a bike like this. Ideally, the bike ride straight when on a straight track. Do not misunderstand what I’m saying, but clearly is not comfortable ride with the 300 km/h when the bike chatter,” said Dani Pedrosa.

As reported by SPEEDtv.com, HRC vice president Shuhei Nakamoto admit that these issues are faced by his team.

“The engineers at Honda trying to create a chassis with a different character, but the final results show that it still had a problem”

“This year the level of chassis stiffness is lower than previously, perhaps even too flexible.”

This chassis further problems related to the suspension, weight distribution and center of gravity. Nakamoto explained that this chassis problem requires a long time to find the solution. “It may take at least three races. Then we will also make revisions before the middle of the season. I am very confident that we can find a solution,” he concluded.
