the position of the rear axel with 114Links chain/15Tooth engine sprocket/46tooth rear sprocket) I have reduced the preload by -1 turn for solo riding > Now the motorcycle is agile and flickable since the static sag has increased, previously i was struggling (+1.5 turns preload) .
Ride height 7.3 mm
Counter steer and how the handlebar turns back from initiating the turn: this is not felt on 390 including with upgraded shock from "Shock Factory" :( (my opinion).
On YSS it is very much more noticeable at 7.3mm ride height. I have also added 1.5 turns of preload (to...
if your fork bottom looks like the above it will work.
A reference picture of proper fitment vs improper fitment of forks.
Following Dave's video I did it just by moving the motorcycle front and rear and pressing the brake the fork(with pinch screw right leg) realigned to its resting spot...
ahh so cone set work yes that's might be the issue. the forks might be pinched/twist .
loosen the axel
the axel pinch bolt
the front brake caliper
then hit the front brakes when rolling the motorcycle if you hear a creak or squeak when pressing the brake it would...
So this is an observation on the OEM ride height of a Motorcycle the above is the front wheel showing how much unused tyre is available
this is the rear tyre of a motorcycle with OEM ride height and how much-unused tyre is available .
the weight transfers towards the rear on acceleration...
Fluff or Goof to set YSS shock having; Threaded pre-load>Rebound damping& Ride height
situation1
Flawed expectation from Operators: a setup that suits rider x*(above 80Kg/177lb) weight & pillion light Y*(56Kg/123lbs) and heavy Y1*(90kgs/200lbs) with no change in preload ride to be...
Other observations:
> Since the ride height increased and after a 40 min ride stopped for 5min when i checked the oil level shows above full Previously with "shock factoryoil level always been between the minimum and full mark 👓 after service or just on the low mark at times
> The handlebars/...
the wheelbase increased from 1365mm to 1370mm using 15T/46T 114links.
ride height at 6.3mm used
when dialling in/adding Preload to Rear shock height increases this affects freeSag(lesser) and when the preload is reduced the ride height(reduced) and freeSag (increase).
so
with"Ride height...
the Stock/OE is 15Tooth engine /45Tooth wheel sprocket with 112links
new
15Tooth engine sprocket /46Tooth wheel sprocket with 114links lengthwise 10mm longer than OE (un installed chain length 907mm length)
I am using this(new) to accommodate the 46Tooth & 47Tooth(soon) which is not...
the height range for every half-turn value goes as follows: 9.3>8.8>8.3>7.8>7.3>6.8>6.3>5.8>5.3 etc. (at the lowest setting possible measured distance is 2.3mm as shown above positions in the picture)
>at 8.3 mm height the shock length is approx 330 MM thats 10mm longer than the OEM shock at...
I have to thank Mr.Raja who lent me the YSS shock (with ride height) to satisfy my curiosity about ride height device benefits
removed to see what is the overall length (27mm)🧐
Since having the motorcycle the rear brake pad assembly hardware (metal spring clips) that hold the pad end on the bracket is not available as a spare. there are new banjo bolts, bleed nipple and copper crush washers for the rear calliper available.
