suspension, snow and services Had a good quick run on the bike today in the falling snow after the big service from cornerspeed (thanks neil). One of the things I asked him to do was reset the suspension to factory. I think the combination of freezing temperature, cold tyres, stock settings and fresh oil made the suspension feel *VERY* hard. I think I'll leave it like that for the mallery session at the end of this week but I'd really like to soften it up for road riding - its very tiring being jolted up and down continuously in the cold...:(:roll::( Leicester's roads have lots of pot holes and repairs, making them lumpier than a freshly ploughed field. I got a fat 17st ass - anyone got any recommendations to get me started? (apart from lose weight ;)) I understand theres 3 dials/screws/nuts on the front and 3 on the back on a 2000 ST2, and I have no idea what they do -- thats about as far as my knowledge goes :D I ride pretty hard (for an ST2), usually solo. Suggestions please!! [Edited on 21-2-2005 by moozaad] |
Cold damping oil does tend to stiffen the suspension up and give a harsh ride, as you say leave it until things warm up a bit more then go on an assessment ride and work out where to go from there, if it still feels to stiff try backing off the compression damping. |
