just call me a header dragger.

How on earth do you guy keep from dragging the header pipes on these things? I drug it twice today!

 

set sag on suspention
6th gen?? it is the kitty cat you are dragn' on right turns

 

I have the sup. set as stiff as I can get. Yes 6th w/abs. right turns only and it higher than the cat it really up on the header a little behind the foot peg.

 

If you're sure your suspension is up to snuff, get your butt off the seat a bit more and hang off to decrease the necessity of that kind of lean angle - or just slow down some.

 

I'm sure the rear shock and the front forks are set as stiff as poss. but shouldn't I be dragging the feeler.... I thought before I drag the headers.

Slow down you talkn some crazy stuff!

 

Absolutely you should. My right side feeler is about half worn down and not a mark on the header. Makes me really think you have a suspension or tire problem. You running OEM tire sizes?

 

can you get a stiffer spring??

 

Lose weight???

 

Ha ha I wish...I lost 50 pounds but I've gained some of it back. I hope honda would make this bike hold me up. I'm not >400#'s

 

yeah stock tires the bikes only got like 1400 miles on it. I'll check it again but the abs models adjustment are really easy to get to. so I'll double check.

oh and BTW this was on really smooth pavement so no bumps or anything.

 

yeah I'm a bit heavier....around #250+ so I could be compressing the springs a bit...The only problem is the abs model has the nice remote adjuster and I really wouldn't want to lose that. Does the penske mount the same?
I guess I could raise the rear alittle??

 

change to correct spring for your weight and reset suspention sag.
the only time mine drags when I have my 6'-4" 200lb son on back or I am riding really hard and hit a bump mid corner.
so look into a heavier spring.

 

where are you guys getting those spring to fit the stock shocks

 

honda parts dept.
or you can try service honda online

 

they sell heavier springs????

 

How did you manage to scrape the exhaust pipe? I scraped the peg nipples a few times, but not the header.

 

skill,.... you've got to be really good to get that low.............................really I don't know I trying to solve that problem. It's really unsettling

 

Pfft, you need a supersport buddy :crazy: Before i can do anything like that i have to settle any of the stability issues before i proceed to scape any hard parts. :tongue:

 

nah..I just need to get the set up right on this thing it'll hang.
