Ohlins setup

jeff st4s · 12-Sep-2006, 20:57

After a bit of messing about and getting nowhere with my suspension, got the rear so it would not wallow too much under acceleration, but when I hit uneven surfaces it bounced around.
Gaz 748 recommended going to Steve Jordan in Bookham, Surrey.
The best £53 I've spent, so far it seems to be fantastic, so looking forward to going out and seeing how it responds on a sunday blast.

Sunday isn't far from now.
What about tomorrow????

I'll be doing my best to keep up, so I won't have spare brain capicity to assess if the rear wheel is tracking perfectly over the ground.
I'll leave that for the sporty ride out in 2 weeks time, this weekend is a social so I don't expect hight speeds.

We may get over the speed limits in places if the conditions allow.

.......and which route did you say you will be taking so we can get the radar set up and the roads dressed with loose chippings

I'll wear extra strong, brown undies then just in case.

Disgusting!

I'm struggling to do any work today, the excitement of going out on my bike 2 days in a row is just too much to bear.

Jeff - hope you don't mind a few questions:

1: Do you have Ohlins fitted front n rear?
2: How heavy are you? (I'm 73.5kgs and if you are 50 or 150kgs then your following answers have no relevance)
3: What are your "new" suspension settings: front n rear preload/rebound n compression?

4: What exactly did Mr Jordan do for his fee when determining how to set your suspension up?

Many Thanks
