Pls excuse me being nosey, but im wondering just how big you are, as i stand at 6'10" and weigh in at approx 150 kg.
Currently running standard Susp this way on my Gen2, but i have a new Ohlins waiting for me to install when i get back home from working away.
There are a couple of Suspension Guru's here in Adleaide, one of them will be re-springing and re-valving my front Forks once i have fitted the Ohlins.
FYI, the ohlins has high and low speed Comp Dampening, and a remote ride height adjuster.
Ive played with my stock susp a little, but in my eyes she definatley needs re springing and valving.......so i said stuff it and got the Ohlins, (a good starting point as far as im concerned.) :)
Cheers,
Matt.
Hi Matt,
I'm 6'3" and about 160kg and losing it rapidly, was 190kg 3 months ago...
I understand that I need to get heavier rated springs and a re-valve, but I'm not in a position to do so yet. That is what I'll be spending my money on before the go-fast bits.
This was just a tweak to firm things up a bit, the ass end was very soft and would wollow on some corners. The rear was one click from the softest setting (did they not see how big I was when they sold me the bike???) much improved now though.
Regards,
John
