(How many rings showing?)<br />I'm 62Kg, add a bit for leathers, etc... But I've kept coming back to rear spring "T" being Zero/Zilch/Naught! I can't remember last "C" setting, but 13 is ringing a bell. And next 5W-Fork Oil change, I'm going to come up one more ring (to show 2, I think, as it is stock now)<br />For me, plush is good, and this is getting as good as I can get it... but the talks of Ohlins/HyperPro/Nitron/Etc are starting to get to me!<br />Anyway- thanks for the great entertainment/info on this blog.<br />-Yank_750Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621725284924042843.post-42630421600844608722013-05-03T09:48:41.722+10:002013-05-03T09:48:41.722+10:00Sounds great man - hopefully the heavier oil gives...Sounds great man - hopefully the heavier oil gives you the results you are looking for :D<br /><br /><br />\BitsarBitSarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549482632949720942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621725284924042843.post-51226062983632421782013-05-03T08:57:23.785+10:002013-05-03T08:57:23.785+10:00Nice post, will keep this in my favorites :)
I ha...Nice post, will keep this in my favorites :)<br /><br />I have actually just adjusted my stock front end. The fork seals went so I bought some 10W oil to replace the 5W. Not been able to ride her much as I'm at uni right now.<br />Holidays For Heroes bike run across the island is next weekend so I'll be able to report back then (probably in the Shiver picture gallery with the pic of a stripped fork!).<br />My previous racing experience with moto-x and sand racing gave me a little insight into what the handling should feel like when tipping in and during the corner, and the stock felt a little soft and spongy, so I'm expecting positive results from the thicker oil!Luceonehttp://www.puzzlesracing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5621725284924042843.post-9525777478589149502013-05-03T07:51:05.759+10:002013-05-03T07:51:05.759+10:00Thanks mate.
