Re: shocking
remember and use silkolene RSF. the reason for this is that there is less fade as the oil heats up and it also has a higher viscosity index than most fork oils, the 7.5w is more like 10w in other brands.

Re: shocking
This is a mate of a mate, he brought the bike new and had the factory upgrade of the time fitted, the standard one he's got has never been used, so I figured it should be good, so if it fits.......

Re: shocking
the 750 k3 shock is 12mm shorter and a light spring. the standard curvy spring is 9.1 the 750k3 is 7.1
the spring would equate to someone around 8st and the shock height would be someone 5ft tall. |

Now I understand what was happening on the front,( dive under compression then pop on rebound ) I had compensated by breaking way early to give time for the front to settle before pitching into the bend, what a transformation!! Rides so much better now. All hail mighty Bibio lol |

Re: shocking
glad you like it
just for future reference, static sag is more important than rider sag. rider sag is only there as an indication to tell if the bike is needing re-sprung. 1. set static sag 2. check rider sag 3. adjust spring rate if necessary dont try and compensate rider sag by reducing static sag, better to have the correct static sag. remember that increasing/decreasing rider sag will also increase/decrease static sag at the same time. |
