Would there be any merit to setting up the suspension of a bike for beginners with very soft suspension? Provide the opportunity to see the impact...

It breaks my heart seeing all that area affected. First the area near Ojai, now this. Lovely riding roads.

Back in the day I had my Gixxer set up by a local race mechanic. At first I was skeptical because the bike felt way too soft around town. But it came...

Sweet! roll back the compression dampening enough that you can notice a difference and if that helps. Spring rates other then preload are a more...

Prophetic post, here. My thoughts and prayers to those affected by the fires, some really intense videos out there :shock:

I have the R model so the front end is adjustable. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In the absence of a compression dampening adjuster, is cheap and easy to just do a fork oil change to 5 weight. imho thin oil makes for a more...

SCLR~ You've been to Racetech before, but it comes at a cost. You can also take it to Lee's Cycle in Sandy Eggo. They set bikes up for the track. Or,...

I remember the quest haven fire of 25 years ago. I rode out there about a week after the fire. Everything was grey. The dirt was grey. No plants,...

May I ask where you took it? It may still be farther than I'm willing to travel but I think I need to have mine looked at. Honestly I ride nowhere...

Man, that is horrible. I'm so glad you're not directly affected by the fires. It's amazing to ride the roads after a fire, the forests look skeletal...

What's really impressive: it's a rigid frame... Dwarf cars: street legal go-karts. :mrgreen:

31 miles per gallon? That's awesome. haha

Sag is the term used to express how the springs support the weight of the motorcycle, or motorcycle and rider. Static Sag is the comparison between...

I do not have the experience to describe my suspension experience in the terms you describe them. The KLX and DRZ feel a lot more solid and stable...

Dave Moss is the guru when it comes to suspension tuning. https://davemosstuning.com/ His youtube videos gave me a greater understanding of the...

The rear on the Triple would skip, uncomfortably so. That became a big enough issue for me to get off my butt and get the suspension tuning process...

The difference between a properly dialed in suspension and one that's in the ballpark is subtle. Most street riders probably can get by simply with...

I have no desire to get anywhere near the limits of my brakes and suspension. I just want to make sure I am not riding the bike in a set up that...

Is a pretty safe bet that most Japanese manufactured bikes intended for street or dual sport riding are under sprung, most also lack a means to easy...

I had changes made suspension changes to three of my bikes. All made much more dramatic improvements even noticeable at my limited skill level. ...

Well, in that case it's sprung perfectly for me. :)

Close......rear under, front over. Front substantially.

So what was their finding? Your bike was under sprung for anything more then a 140 pound rider?
