Unfortunatly your weight(not calling you fat!) is going to put you over the best adjustment range for the stock springs. This is a common problem...
For that kind of ridding 42 rear and 36 front would be fine. You use less pressure for more traction at aggressive lean angles. When your tires...
Im still playing with mine, only 350 miles on my 08 so far. I think the stock suspension feels "ok", I need to try a little more preload front and...
Front is OEM and Rear is aftermarket, right? I dont know where all thier tires are made....but I have found most OEMS come from France. Weird...
whats the spring preload set at on your rear shock? If you weigh more than 160 and its set at the stock notch of 2 then you are floating the front...
(quote) Another tip to help throttle control is to make sure your throttle cable is adjusted properly. Too much free play in the hand grip can...
I am also on the mission to clean the throttal up on this bike. Also get better rev response below 6k. Im thinking a filter and cans may go a long...
Sounds like clutch chatter, I get that on my 08 with only 300 miles. Hear it on lots of bikes, especially ducati. The R6 does it something fierce....
LOL, there is nothing beastly about a VFR. Giving my 06 ZX10 gas in the turn even to half throttal makes the VTEC engagement seem like a cute...
Huh, another thought just popped into my head when you said it was abrupt, bubble in the tire. Happens sometimes, you would find it easy enough if...
Dual sport tires. Hit some dirt with those. :cool:
Also OEM tires are for the most part made by the lowest bidder, Although I have to say I am happy with the BT020 on my 08 at the moment. Couple...
Run your hand over the middle of that front tire, you can tell a difference when a tire is "cupped" also. Something I forgot to mention. Just...
There is a reference dot on the rear tire that helps line the tire up to a specific spot on the wheel, its not always correct without weight but...
If your rear preload is set too low it could be squating on the rear tire. Bike will fight to turn into the turn a little if the rear is squating...
You said it happens under braking and big bumps, if its not the steering head Im betting on the sudden fork travel. My 2008 brand new forks make...
I had an 06 lined up for 8k out the door, its close to 800 under thier cost. If they want to get rid of it they will take it tho. I didnt take...
Way over priced, hes making some money if it was traded. Retail by kelly blue book is 6800 and I wouldnt even pay that. Out dated motorcycle, new...
Ive got 250 miles on my 08 and the surge is the one thing I noticed also. ON/OFF throttal seems a little jumpy so I am going to take the slack out...
Its unfortunate when things like that happen. I lost a friend who was an experienced 250CC dirt track rider. He was in a race and landed a simple...
