Hi all,
hope everyone is well.
Yes well here we go again.
Sorry to annoy.
I recently went out on a ride with 2,count them 2 friends in the
Adelaide Hills here in South Australia.
Now there was no way I was keeping up with them on their
nimble euro bikes being a BMWS1000RR and a Ducati Streetfighter V4.
There was no stupid boy racing just speed limit stuff.
They would ride ahead and wait for me a bit.
All good.
I think though as has been discussed many times a bit of adjustment usually
stiffening up of the underwhelming/underpowered suspension can be of benefit.
Maybe the guys won't be waiting so long up ahead for me next ride?
Note when the road opened out a bit I was there .
I did find plenty of information here thanks to all and a great detailed post from Jinkster.(many thanks)
Without going into it too deeply he said this as a recommendation in a section,
"Yep....first screw both the compression adjustment (lower rear side of fork end casting) and rebound adjustment (little screw on top of spring preload adjusters) all the way IN till they stop..then...
REBOUND: 3 Clicks Out
COMPRESSION: 4 Clicks Out
and this is with your spring preload adjusters set at just 1 line showing...ie..socked all the way down too the first line.
My Rear Shock Settings Are...
Rebound (botton screw): 10 Clicks Out
Compression (top screw): 7 Clicks Out
And that's with two full revs more rear shock spring preload from stock factory adjustment."
Just wondering if anyone is using these settings and their thoughts?
I am actually thinking about paying to watch the Dave Moss's video he has done on the Busa settings.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Shane.
