Bladdy hell! It feels like I'm riding a Gas Gas trials bike. Flicks from left to right like a champ!!
Pilot Power 2CT, mate. Quick question actually. You got your suspension set up at reactive too, didn't you? When I first got mine done it felt like a magic carpet, soaking up all the bumps and keeping the wheels in contact with the ground much more of the time. Bike felt a lot less nervous. Just recently and especially on this first ride with the new hoops on it feels quick jolty and stiff again. I think it's probably psychological but I'm not sure. How's yours?
yeh i did and i cant belive you just wrote that as i feel exactly the same, the bike just feels rock solid and i have had a few moments as of late when going quite fast. i also thought it was psychological but now you wrote that i have my doubts
I'll give Reactive a bell and see what he says. I'm fairly sure that the adjusters haven't moved. If it's a common problem I'm sure he'll have had it mentioned before.
Glad you like the 55 mate! So much better hey... You think the suspension is because you feel more confident so are pushing harder without knowing thus asking more out of the bike?? And feeling more as it's working harder?? Like you say, it won't have changed from day 1 of set up?
Night and day difference. It feels so quick to turn I've tried to get my head around the suspension thing. I did think exactly the same as you've said there. When I got it done I was instantly quicker. The bike felt so much more planted that it just gave me tonnes of confidence to push it into corners. I doubt it has moved but it really feels like it has. I put it down to having got used to it but a quick phone call to the fella isn't going to do any harm. It's not like I'd ask him to rectify it for free. It cost bugger-all anyway
No def worth a call!! My guess is you have just got a bit quicker and the old brain has had a recalibration and you just need to catch up lol
Tyre pressures (& sidewall rigidity, etc) can have a significant affect on how your suspension feels.
I thought that might be the case but before riding I'd checked the pressures. I actually used to use 36 Front and 42 rear on my 50 section Mezteler but on these 2CT I decide to drop down a bit to 34 front and 38 rear.
Also I forgot to mention that I think the weather/temperature can affect it too as shock contains oil. Colder weather = harder feeling susp.
