since i have taken a break from riding till all my gear arives i've been fiddling with the suspension to see what things are like. i bought my bike used, turns out the old owner liked things soft, i thought the bike was stock set up it definately wasn't. as always i'm on a 748.
i returned rebound and dampering to the standard "clicks" and "turns" the bike rides very very very different.
i kept checking the rear tire becasue it feelt like it was going flat, but it lays over in turns easier, i lost some confidence and came home after checking tire pressure. also the bike feels like the tail rides a little low now, i don't like that. 1) anyone work with ride height on a biposto?
if i didn't always run my mouth i would have been short and to the point and just ask what you guys run for your suspension preloads. 2) so what do you folks run your preloads at?
(my calculations may be incorrect, but i don't think so)
my front is 33mm
and rear 39.2mm
3) for the fork preload is there a point of reference to work with just as there is with the damper and rebound "clockwise till it stops click"
4)then when adjusting the rear preload what tool(s) do you use to unlock those nuts other than the tool made for it. a small socket with and extension peice and a hammer?
