suspension set up

I had a 12 Anniversary model. Weighed about 12 stone kitted out and ran standard settings, perfect for the road.

 

Hi steve I'm about the same as you slim 13 stone ish you fancy sharing those settings mate

 

Think I put them on here , will try find.

 

14st, new Blade, I tweaked mine based on my Alpha set up on my 08 as a base and then tweaked slightly on the road, feels much better, not perfect yet but 90% better

Rear Spring +1 to 5
Rebound 1 turn softer
R compression 1/2 softer, next ride out will try putting this back to standard

Frt
Preload +2 turns harder, may go another turn harder
Rebound 1/2 softer
Compression standard

It's not a lot but takes the harshness out of it

 

its £50 now but he only does a couple of days a month and its on a first come basis im hopefully going next month.

 

Do they let you take it for a spin and go back to make adjustments or is it more setting the basics and off you go ?
Cheers

Cheers steve cool

 

Just had a set of 2014 forks serviced and sprung to my weight by Darren at MCT, Stowmarket for my rr9.

Went for a short ride yesterday and felt so much better than my old 2009 forks, soaked up bumps that before would of cringed at hitting and turned better too.

Wish I had the time to get him to set them and the Ohlins TTX also up.

 

The 2012> forks are a huge improvement over the older ones .., transformed my bike as well.

 

Yes. Gareth will send you off for a spin and fine tune if needed. Really can't recommend the bloke enough

 

Plus one for MCT. Book early though because they're always stuffed!
