@urastus9202 6 месяцев назад

Happy to be corrected if I'm wrong...if your spring is bottoming out, more preload will not do anything to prevent that. Preload is only for correcting sag - that's all it can do. It cannot make the spring stronger. Also, I believe the 3rd gen vstrom 650 only has rebound adjustment - this adjustment can only change the speed at which the rear suspension returns to sag after hitting a bump. If the rear pogos (bounces down and up several times) after hitting a bump, increase rebound till it just returns to sag after hitting that bump (doesn't continue bouncing up and down for that one bump). I believe that you're trying to say that the adjustment on your bike is for both rebound and compression damping - I don't believe that is correct. They are typically two different adjustment methods. "REAR SUSPENSION - Link type, rear shock with adjustable rebound damping and spring preload" copied from suzuki's current v-strom 650 specs. This bike doesn't have an adjustment for compression damping. I apologise if I have misunderstood your video.

@dognaper321 Год назад

Hi doc, thank you so much for this video. I got this exact model last year and was wondering how this whole process was done. I just have some additional questions: 1 - How do you know where the tape should be put on? Is it always that same location for this model? If so, can't you simply perform the measurement without the X and tape? 2 - I still have all the factory suspension settings and it feels like the bike rides quite stiff when on roads with parallels. Is this normal, even if the damping force is with the correct amount of turns? Gracias y saludo de Portugal.

@DrVstrom Год назад

1. Take can be more or less perpendicular to the axle 2. Just work the suspension a bit if it is a bit stuck and play with the softness from the screw on the bottom

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

@originalnocomment 2 года назад

Hi from Cape Town. My static sag measured at 510mm, with a pillion on the beast measurement I could get was 450mm = 60mm of travel. Preload was turned up all the way hard. So does this mean I need a heavier preload spring?

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

Well I say that in the video towards the end. If the measurements are correct and the adjustments also but the numbers are off, it means that if there is a big difference it might be tge case. If there is not a big diff its ok.

Good evening. I would like to know the ideal setting for my mono, considering a total of 200 kilos, which includes me and the passenger. Thank you

@DrVstrom Год назад

Hello, you would have to follow the video process and make fine adjustments. Hope that helps.

@manuelwinkler9914 Год назад

What I did not understand: Do I adjust the preload before taking measurements to the factory setup (2 lines visible) or do i fully turn the button clockwise to 5 lines visible an then start measuring? ...or neither? or did i commit a fallcy?

@DrVstrom Год назад

Forget the 2 lines for preload. Follow the video. Do the 2 measurements and then the calculations and adjust appropriately for your weight and purposes.

@SAN-Adv 2 года назад

Thanks a lot, This is a very complicated method, how do I balance the rear wheel spring of the bike (there is no indicator) sometimes I may ride with a passenger or with equipment (is there a certain easy way) for V-Strom

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

What do you mean there is no indicator? The method is the same for all motorcycles. What are you asking exactly? If you mean to find a setting for all, as long as you are not going on a long trip fully loaded with side luggage, its fine.

@SAN-Adv 2 года назад

@@DrVstrom Thanks 😊 I own a Suzuki V-Strom 1050 XT, on my short trips I may ride with a passenger or sometimes with the boxes, according to the bike manuals the rear spring has 12 points to adjust the load but there is no indicator show like the GS from BMW

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

Hello, I normally do not give such detailed info for non membership members but here you go. To adjust follow the same process exactly as my video. For measurement 1, its bike unloaded & measurement 2 is loaded with your passenger. You do M1-M2 and the result number you need to compare with 30% of your rear suspension travel, which I think for the 1050 is 30% of 160mm so 48mm. if your number (M1-M2) is >48 you turn slowly clockwise. if it is

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

Sorry, have not given that much though, I tend to listen to the engine not look at the rev meter so much. What are you trying to achieve? It will definitely depend on how well you chain is adjusted and the road it self plus conditions.

@jorgeiturbe953 2 года назад

@@DrVstrom not stress engine to Máximize engine life. I usually travel at 6500 on highway for long periods of time probably 2hrs. I wonder if 7500 is ok or probably engine is stressed

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

Hello, The engine is bulletproof so no problems there. However there are other potential issues if you intend to cruise at these revs for 2 hours straight that you might need to consider. Namely the risk of getting tickets for speeding, the excessive tire wear & fuel consumption. I will not lie, I ve done it myself even revving higher for such periods of time and no issue there. In fact the oil and engine gets proper temperature and you can then tell that the engine works better, the gears shift smoother, etc. However do consider the other factors as well. A last thing to remember is that if your tires get hot and you stop suddenly its also not good for tires but you need to gradually bring the temp down and then stop. Hope this helped & Ride safe.

@iuribotelho6642 Год назад

Boa tarde. Do Brasil de novo. Fui fazer o sag da suspensão traseira da minha moto, que é a vstrom 650, ano 2022. Entretanto, tive uma dificuldade e queria saber sua opinião, ou seja, se pode ser normal ou se pode ter algum problema (vou levar a moto na revisão semana que vem e se for algum problema, já relato lá). Fiz a medida com a suspensão solta, levantando a roda traseira. Com os pontos de referência que usei, a medida total foi de 530mm (interessante que essa medida foi a mesma com a roda traseira suspensa e com ela no descanso lateral, não teve diferença). O sag é de 48mm, né. Então, adotei a distância entre os dois pontos como sendo de 480mm (aproximei um pouco, para ficar conta exata). Só eu na moto, consegui facilmente deixar a distância entre os dois pontos em 480mm (na mola fica visível 2 aneizinhos). Entretanto, quanto a minha mulher sobe na garupa, mesmo dando a carga total higt, ou seja, aparecendo os 5 aneizinhos na suspensão, a distância máxima que fica é de 470mm. Não ficou um sag totalmente ruim, mas me chamou a atenção, pois eu e minha esposa somos relativamente leves. Eu peso 70kg e ela 55kg… Desde já agradeço e muito obrigado por todos os vídeos!!!

@DrVstrom Год назад

For the 530 that you say was the same with the suspension loose and on side stand, some time it sticks so do not worry. Just make sure when you have it on the center stand to pull the wheel down so it fully extends and it unsticks. So ok from 530 you subtract whatever number is measure by a 3rd person when you and your wife are both on the bike without your feet touching the ground. Then that number you bring as close to 48 as possible by turning the adjuster accordingly. That means that after you turn the adjuster, you and your wife repeat and a 3rd person measures again and then you subtract the new number again. If the difference is closer to 48 your are adjusting to the correct direction until you reach 48.

@bernardbernard9286 Год назад

Hello, how to measure a static sag if I don't have central stand?

@TheNenadrakicbg 2 года назад

I have one question pls. I have the same bike. Year 2020. When i set my preload to max the sag is more then 60cm. Now, i have 120kg, and the motorcycle luggage cariers, protectors, and top case with everything in it have probebly 20-30kg more for sure. Is it posible that the rear sunspension is too weak for my weight? 😏🤔

@DrVstrom 2 года назад

Probably yes and probably you need a more enhanced shock. They do sell some that can handle more weight.

@apoloniii3259 Год назад

No because max weight for this motorcycle is 210kg,

@DrVstrom Год назад

He already said that he put preload to max. That means the weight is probably way too much for the shock to be adjusted properly. Stop confusing people or please do that in your own channel.

Its funny because today I had a friend asking me the same question of exceeding weight limits for a car. Anyways, please note the following. The limits are there for a reason. Even if you drive slowly and safely lets say, control will not be good especially on turns with bumps and I dont think your rear suspension will end up well after this trip. If you have the 650, its suspension is limited and there are after market solutions for this. Hope that offers more info.

@DrVstrom Год назад

Welcome to the world of dealers who want you to go and pay. The 30 % is commonly known in the motorcycle community. Just adjust in this way and you will see how good it will behave. The video has split labeled parts and you can jump from 1 to the next depending on what you are looking. What info do you miss between the 2 measurements? Its simple. Measure on center stand for measurement 1, Measure while you alone or you plus luggage or you plus 2nd passenger, depending on for what weight you want to adjust. That is measurement 2 M1-M2 = result Is the result equal to 30%of 160? If it is great. If not you adjust to make result as close to 30%of 160 as possible. Watch the video more carefully. Hope it helped.

For goodness sake people. Can someone please tell me what setting should I use for an 80kg, me + a few bits, load? This is way too long and agonizing for me, sorry 😬

If you do it the way doctor describes and note down your settings for one passenger, for two passengers and for two passenger with laguage you will be able to set the bike without doing the whole prosedure every time. There is no easier way than described here.

Hello Dr V-strom which is your website?

@passionandcommonsense 7 месяцев назад

Good day to you sir. Thank you for this. But unfortunately this entire video is super confusing. I am not a troll and I am not here to create trouble or to discourage you. I am just being honest that this video confused more than it clarified. Way too much theory. I request that you do another one just demonstrating the concept quickly. You started talking about preload and then that word completely disappeared.

Good day to you my friend. This is not a channel where in 5 min you watch & go. If I did this video in less time there would be many saying the opposite of what you expressed (ie that it was too brief and info is missing). To this day this video is one of my most engaging and successful ones in terms of views and time viewed. You simply skip the theory if you dont want it and jump to these parts for preload. 6:58 1st Measurement Ext Sag 7:08 Measurements-2 Point The Setup 9:05 2nd Measurement Race Sag 14:16 The Calculations 15:20 Adjusting by Increasing Preload 16:32 Repeat the Measurement & Adjust Then if you wanna play also with the damping force you continue to 17:30 Damping Force Adjustment 18:52 Damping Force Adjuster & Indications 20:24 Set Damping Force Adjuster to Default Its that simple. If you still have questions on a particular point, ask them on the comments and I will reply. Ride safe
