After the revalve, they also fit a proper o ring on the fork leg. After 3 sessions at Silverstone it sits at around 12mm from the bottom, so ive just a little of the full stroke left..
Ive got 25mm static sag on the front. |
Mine came as standard with one ring showing but the geometry also does depend upon where the rear ride height is as well. I've been through the drop them down, raise them up route. For road riding the biggest complaint I've heard is that the bike feels long and doesn't tip in like a 9x6/8 so everyone steepens the bike a la Section 8, 20mm showing. I did this at first but since swapping to Pilot Powers have found its a different feel so think I can start lowering the rear and raising the front. The Pilot Power gives more front end confidence and seems to have a different profile and the rear hooks up better so you don't need the same squat. Rode them at the weekend for the first time and tonights job is to move rear back to 285 and lift front to 15mm
On the R and 05 models you've got a different swingarm, shock position and leverage ratios so its going to be different setups anyway.
