Ta, I will do that in a bit. Just reading all the section8 stuff about suspension geometry for 749.

This all came about because we took the 749 and the M620Sie out today with my teenage kids on pillion. Going to bring "rent a mob" to the DD at Cadwell ... be a nice family day out, but really want to do it on bikes! Didn't do too bad on the 749 with a 185lb pillion and a half turn extra on compression damping.

Couldn't go very fast anyway coz we were riding with my lad on his 50cc supermoto! zzzzzzzzzz
Damn good job it's not restricted or it'd be a 30mph job!

Actually .... just reading some of this stuff on section8 and I recon I might have got "flex in the rear subframe" that they describe. I lifted the rear by holding under the seat whereas they say to use the footpegs or the front of the subframe and use 2 people. Try again tomorrow me thinks.
