Zech popped into RS Motorcycles to get his suspension setup. Robert took him through the process of setting his sag, and attempting to set compression, rebound and pre-load on the factory R7 suspension. For more, see Motonz.com
This may sound silly, but maybe you could answer this for me. I took my brand new Yamaha R7 into a shop to have the suspension dialed in, and I noticed after leaving that the two orange looking preload caps/bolt things (sorry, I think that is what they are called) were sort of scratched and dinged up. I know a tool and some form of pressure must be used to adjust them, but is there a way to perform such a task without damaging the finish of the orange looking preload cap/bolts? I know it sounds silly, and the scratches/dings are really not that noticeable, but I was not expecting the finish of the orange preload caps/bolts to be altered in that sense. I can understand if there is really no way around it, and that is just a part of the mechanical process, but I was curious what your opinion is. Thank you for your time and any potential feedback.
I guess some workshop guys are rougher than others. There are softer tools you can buy that don’t cause as much damage. Shame this has happened to your bike though.
@@MotoNZ It is frustrating, you are correct. I called the dealership and let them know. I may of not had my suspension adjusted at all or waited if I had known this could potentially happen.
Ci sono delle chiavi esagonali in plastica apposite per la regolazione del precarico molla. Nel tuo caso chiave esagonale in plastica da 14 mm. Ti capisco perfettamente il fastidio che provi. Avrebbero dovuto mettere del nastro adesivo in carta prima di inforcare la chiave o la bussola da 14 mm...non si sarebbe rovinata l'anodizzazione dell'alluminio.
