Hi all,
You might already be aware but during my last race weekend it was suggested to me to raise the rear of the bike, as I was having trouble tipping in, and hitting the apex. I was using the stock front and rear suspension and had run out of options with the settings available.
Another BMW racer showed me that raising the rear was as easy as turning around the spacer at the top of the rear shock (the one that has the bolt through it).
It was a little awkward to do but wow what a difference it made! Tighter turning and apex's hit..... Job done! lol
Still need to upgrade from the stock suspension though as it "goes off" very quickly when on the track (if only I had the raw talent to ride anything, it would make a race bike cheaper to build anyway! lol).
Cheer for listening, Matt.
