On my 2000 996 I used to run steep steering head angle and chain adjusted with the hub about 6 o'clock to raise the rear a touch. 7.0 kg/mm spring on an ohlins shock. Front end was sorted by K-Tech and it was the dogs danglies. You dont mention what tyres your running but as you have the wheels off the 748 I guess they are the same as what the 748 had on? I probably weigh a lort more than a lot of riders on here which may help stabilise the bike but I never had bad headshakes, little ones yeah but nothing like the R6 used to do. I ran a sprint adjustable steering damper on the 996. Trying to get the 998 to handle the same but not succeeded yet. Softened the Ohlins rear spring to a 7.0 again, same damper, standard head angle for now, forks to go to K-Tech soon. The thing I have different is I am usiong Pirelli Diablo Corsa tyre instead of my usual BT012SS's but there on their way too. Just need to get everything else back to the way I had the 996 set up now. |
