I've just put Michelin Pilot Road 3's on my Triumph Daytona 955i.

Now the bike has always been firm, it's a sportsbike, but it's always felt supple with a quality ride too.

I've changed the tyres for something that probably has a much stiffer carcass.

On country lanes and small B roads the bike now has my forearms and shoulders bouncing up and down like I'm using a jackhammer, with the occasion boot in the backside as well, and you can feel the wheels skipping over bumps, to he extent that it's actually blurring my vision of the road ahead, and forcing me to keep my speed down as going faster gives the suspension more to deal with and makes it worse.

I want to make it a bit more supple and forgiving and soak up the bumps better, whilst still maintaining decent damping control and not going soft and spongy or wallow when the road is smooth and I want to push on in corners. I will take it to a suspension specialist to be properly set up, but not until I have finished loosing weight, I have more than a stone and a half to go.

So what do I adjust?

Tyre pressures, currently at 42 rear, 36 front as per Triumph recommendations

Front and rear bouncy bits are adjustable for Pre-load, Compression, and Rebound

Thanks
