Hey am I the only guy having a hard time feeling secure at high speed on this bike? anything over 100mph and the bars are moving back and forth big time. anyone know of a damper thats made for us yet?
i'm 193 lbs and set my front end up with 2 bars out on pre-load and 2 clicks left of firmest the other two, the rear is one click left of firmest and middle pre-load,, sound about right?Have you checked your tyre pressures or adjusted the suspension incorrectly, I think a steering damper will just bandaid another problem you have if it fixes it
I have no idea and would be the last to give advice on how to setup suspension , I'm just suggesting maybe something is not set right with the setupi'm 193 lbs and set my front end up with 2 bars out on pre-load and 2 clicks left of firmest the other two, the rear is one click left of firmest and middle pre-load,, sound about right?Have you checked your tyre pressures or adjusted the suspension incorrectly, I think a steering damper will just bandaid another problem you have if it fixes it

what did you find? i haven't seen anything yetNo problems at redline 6th gear. Suspension has been set up. Im also running 36 front 38 rear psi. But I would like a steering dampener. The only ones I've seen requires cutting the key housing cover though

yeah i'm thinkin ima call the dealer tomorrow and get it back in, it's anything but stable, the day I picked it my very first thought was this thing needs a damper, dunno what the dealer is going to be able to do for me tho2 Clicks out on Rebound or Compression? Best thing is to have someone bounce the bike by stepping on the Footpeg, eyball the bike to make sure that both back and rear come back even. Then you can work on front and rear seperate. You want the rebound set so that it comes back and settles smooth after bouncing. You don't want it to go past it's static position when coming back then settle.
Be careful using compression to stiffen up as your then causing the bump force to be sent into the chassis. I haven't had a great chance to try it at 100+ through corners, but it felt pretty stable at 90 ish accelerating through the corner on stock settings.
Hopefully fix the problem is what he will do,get the mechanic to ride it , describe your problem ask their advice , they always like that , if there is a problem as you describe , it isn't normal on this bike .yeah i'm thinkin ima call the dealer tomorrow and get it back in, it's anything but stable, the day I picked it my very first thought was this thing needs a damper, dunno what the dealer is going to be able to do for me tho
Sounds totally wrong to me. I weigh about the same and your settings are a lot firmer than mine.i'm 193 lbs and set my front end up with 2 bars out on pre-load and 2 clicks left of firmest the other two, the rear is one click left of firmest and middle pre-load,, sound about right?
