    Great you will love it, it makes the bike very capable and able to be pedalled very quickly in rough going like around Menindee lake as Boulder and Nickj witnessed

    The ride to Condo and day one I was a passenger on the bike and couldnt sort it or me. The hissy fit I had on the sand road into the camping spot that Nickj heard over the blue tooth will never be spoken off, ever.

    The bike was unrideable in the sand, period. Moose rode it and told me to fix it before I ride it again because it was dangerous, his words. This made me feel a little better that is wasnt me, but pissed the bike was unrideable.

    I rang Nick after hrs, he rang me back on his mobile and we talked about it. Nick had me soften the rear spring preload 4 notchs (1/4 of a turn) I let some air out of the front tyre and softened the front spring preload, bingo a different bike.

    Those adjustments put the bike back EXCATLY as it was given to me by Tekniks :blush: You see I had fiddled with the preloads when I loaded the bike :blush: As I had the bike setup by Nick at Tekniks for 160kgs it didnt need adjusting it was already prefect. 160kgs is for Salina and I on the bike or me and all the gear, perfect in the middle settings. Mine is setup real stiff if its empty but can be ridden hard and and wont bottom. I will have Nick soften it a bit for me, but they were my spec’s requested. I rode the bike today through some of the singles at Sunny Corner and jumped the windrows etc which for a 190kg bike is fantastic

    Again thanks to Nick for the help outside office hrs greta support and service
