Hey James, good to hear it helped, but i had some learnings after this vid, so please look at the final vid (link in description of this video) as there were some corrections in the process from this one. I hear you on the shop assistant, my dog isn't a ton of help either!
You're welcome. there are some more things I learned for a better way to do this with more accuracy in the follow-on video. I learned a lot more and wanted to make sure I conveyed the latest info in this one, enjoy! Final Suspension and Sag Setup: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3wcQqpGbcs.html
thanks! glad you enjoyed. i just received the new springs for the front forks and will swap them out asap, so keep an eye out for that vid as it'll wrap everything up for a final setup.
Eh Guy, good scene with the biker leather suit (put on gear 😉) you can do it again during your next video, very Nice ! ✌️ ans good job for your explanation, thanks
Super vidéo auriez vous un conseil de precharge pour moi même véhicule j'ai 5 tour de precharge à l'avant et 4 tour à l arrière poids pilote équipé 70kg usage route merci d'avance
Hi, this one is outdated. i can't advise the settings for you, but the updated final video goes through the exact proper process. I suggest you follow that video and it'll take you through the steps to getting the bike adjusted for you to enjoy! Bonjour, celui-ci est obsolète. Je ne peux pas vous conseiller sur les paramètres, mais la vidéo finale mise à jour suit exactement le processus approprié. Je vous suggère de suivre cette vidéo et elle vous guidera à travers les étapes pour régler le vélo pour que vous en profitiez !ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3wcQqpGbcs.htmlsi=pz4-QYcxzetInE3u
Howdy, Eddie, you are correct that LESS preload would LOWER the front of the bike, correct. However, i strongly suggest not using this strategy. I don't know if anyone makes a lowering kit for the bike that might include a different link or dogbone for the rear, but you might check into it. The key is to minimal effects on geometry for handling. For example, if you wanted the bike lower, you would want to keep the damping/preloads correct for sag front and rear, and adjust the height by moving the forks in the tubes and changing the length of the link at the bottom of the rear shock. Lowering both the front and rear the same amount maintains your existing rake and trail, which is critical. A couple other things to remember, moving the front forks in the trees X amount will change the actual height of the front by some portion of it depending on the trigonometrical calcs based on the rake angle. Changing the length of the link at the bottom of the rear shock will change the height of the rear by much more due to its proximity to the swing arm pivot compared to the rear axle. Also, i only raised my rear shock link length by 3 mm and it made a big difference in stability of the rear. If you increase your rake incorrectly, it'll be difficult to turn in, if you lower it, it could get unstable and cause an accident. i have an updated final adjustment video with a few corrections i strongly suggest before you dive into this if you tackle it yourself at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S3wcQqpGbcs.html . Hope this all helps!
