I've got an '05 650s that I've started to notice is a little hard on the suspension at low speed. If riding along the usual dog rough tarmac b roads in Dover at 30mph, it seems like the setup is really stiff and I feel like i'm bouncing of the seat or I'm coming down and the bike bumps up to meet me - this is all very minute but noticable. Don't worry, I'm not 4 inches of the seat or anything! Also, when powering out of a roundabout the other day the front went really light and give a wiggle - so should any small adjustments be made to keep the front on the ground when the weight is on the back wheel?
I weigh 12 stone and wondered if anyone had a setup they find gives good low speed comfort without comprising higher speed stability around this weight. |

Is it all standard? You must be the only person above 10 stone who considers the SV too hard... Where's it set now?
