riding a 2013 blade. Very happy alround until bike is leaned right over . I have a lack of feel from what I believe to be the front end . Done done set up work / sag etc. Also tried various noted set ups from various places .bike feels good until pushing hard on corners ( full lean ) Cannot feel what the tyres are doing . Very vague . My riding style is high corner speed 250 type so I need loads of feel from the front . is it a revalve and respring on the forks what I require ?? Tyres are not the issue . Fast road / track . Cheers in advance
Weight 12 .5 stone ( 80 kg) with gear on . Bike is set up as standard at present . Forks not dropped in yokes ( I quite often have to do this to get a quick setting bike or raise the rear ) But find the blade turns quick enough with standard geometry ... Owt else you need ? Cheers
The springs are too stiff for you ... get on K-tech and see what they recommend for your weight. What preload setting are you seeing assuming you have set it up?

Thanks . reat I'm at 5 preload Front was at 7.75 but I've dropped that to 5.5 now Tried a few in between as well . I could feel the difference with the different settings but still lacked feel on full lean . Just don't want to spend £50 set up if I end up needing a revalve/spring on front anyhow to get me the feel I want . Thanks for your input . What weight are they spring for ? Cheers
I'm not sure ... I'm 90kg in my kit and was told the standard springs are 11Nmm and slightly too stiff. I need 10Nmm apparently... So for 80Kg you will need 9-9.5Nmm I would assume... give K-Tech a call and ask.
