TB
You and Antonio make a fine looking pair
Looks like a heaps better size for you than your last bike … it is taller yes?
How did the ride go?
Thank you for telling me that TB. I need to learn to trust my bum
because riding it home this afternoon after it was changed the bike felt less ??sharp?? not sure if thats the right word. Love being able to touch the ground but the agility was there. Now I know why.I didn’t lower the bike myself actually I did ask someone for advice though . But what the other guy did is EXACTLY what you said. The front forks lowered as far as possible through the tripple clamps and the rear spring was wound right down.
I mentioned that doesn’t fiddling with the forks and springs effect the feeling on different terrain. Isn’t that why some of the new bikes are fitted with those clicky things so you can change it for different conditions??
I was told that I wanted the bike to be soft :huh: Maybe I wasnt explaining myself properly.
Oh well no harm done he was just trying to help. I was complaining at the time that I got ‘stuck’ trying to turn around on the track bc I couldn’t touch the ground to push it backwards…….he just told me that good riders don’t need to turn around like that :laugh: :huh: :huh:
Thankfully I always stick my nose in when ever someone is working on any bike and ask tonnes of questions so I know how to put it back to the orginal setting quick smart
Yep think I need to go and talk to Nick. Does he do exhausts as well? Just want to shush it up a bit.

You are correct, you have softened the back its sags the rear end the geometry of the bike is altered and doesn’t steer factors like steering rake etc. change because of the sagging rear end (in very simple terms) Knowing you and the stuff I have witnessed from dropping around twice you will be all over it like white on rice :laugh: Cheers for the ciders as well :laugh:
