| Speaking of how forks come set from the factory...I was at my local dealer the other day and they had 8 SBK's of different variety (one 749r and two 999s included) and every last one of them was different with anywhere from no lines showing to one had 4 1/2 showing. The spring preload varied just as much. And it wasn't like all the 749's were the same and the 999's were the same...they were all off. Guess they just throw them together and send them out. Also noticed for the first time the difference in the top of the Ohlins forks. Do they adjust preload with the little nut on the top? Oh yea, and how come 999s gets Ohlins and radial brakes but 749s doesn't. That's not fair!! Guess it's about cost and targeting a different market. |
