Front end chatter

Sounds like too much compression/rebound damping to me. What weight oil did you use?

Sounds a bit like your new front end is set up rock solid.Either very hard springs or,more likely,wrong viscosity or too much fork oil or too much damping.

Ah the joys of synchronised posting---See SV demons post above.

I'd says he's just set up to hard really, i can push the forks down, while the brake is pulled.

I guess it's more along comp/rebound. we'll see what the setting show on thursday

P.S no idea of the oil weight

Try taking all the comp/rebound adjustment off so its right round at "s" then see what its like. If that doesn't make it soft enough i'd be looking at changing the oil for some fresh 10w then you know where you stand.

I'll keep that in mind, it's lashn down here @ the moment, so no real test'n gonna happen today

come on, put us out of our misery. what was wrong wi'it

Only back now, went off to get it done at about 6:30, hour and a half later and two forks dismantled, two washers removed and the springs inserted the right way up ( they were swapped over to extend the forks and add more preload)


Any what can i say, well i know how a train driver feels like now, cos this baby's on rails !!!!


No more front chatter, bumps are so much easier to handy, and in the corners :O lord it's like gliding around them now, all for the handsome price of 75 euro, money very well spent imo

excellent, would have never thought about the springs being wrong way up...

that was a very very good price m8....

the sv is a pleasure to ride with good suspension... they feel like a totally different bike and you can push them a lot harder.

Well the spring were in the wrong way around to alloow for the wasters to catch, and give it a 2 mm lift, again lenghtening the forks a little more, however rebound adjusters were off then, one has about 6 mm in travel and the other had 4, so over all a bit of a mess, shame i wont get out on it again now till tuesday damn weddings over the weekend means no more testing for me, but nxt weekend is my nxt dyno run, so hopefully i'll get the ok that she's fully jetted correctly also
