Bike Booked in to FTR for Suspension Setup

[chorsley]

As I don't fully understand what effects what with adjutments and I am a tad on the heavy side at 100 kg without leathers I have decided to get the suspension setup proffesionaly, with a re-spring and re-valve as I cant afford a full Ohlins setup.:sorrow:

curently I find the rear suspension chatters under acceleration (I belive this is due to it being under sprung and under damped for my weight ?) and the front seems a tad soft under braking and cornering (agian due to it being under sprung and damped for my weight)

So the bike is booked in to FTR Suspension for the 21st of June really looking forward to have a bike that is setup correctly for me, which should make my enjoyment of the bike even better:adoration:

One of the wisest ways of spending ya money

I bought my Ohlins from FTR and I have had a bit, not much, dialogue with them.

They are a fantastic bunch and I'm sure you will be impressed.

Good Luck

Are you going there n back in a day? There are some great roads around FTR mate....

Well worth the money and you don't need the gold stuff to make a massive difference. MCT did mine and its was far less effort around the track and has given me a massive boost of confidence on the road as well.

Used Brian Nicholson at LJ Motorcycle Repairs in Twickenham, he did an excellent job with the stock stuff considering my 70kg.

Any idea what he is likely to charge - just down the road for me and been thinking of getting a pro setup done before heading off to the TT.

Should be about £60, but he won't let you leave until it's sorted.

A re-spring and re-vavle with setup will be around £250 I think

 

[chorsley]

Well I had it done today and what a difference well worth the money only a re-spring required it cost £278 no more bouncing out of the saddle and the ride is very smooth

 

[cally1066]

Did they change fork and rear shock springs ?

 

[chorsley]

Yes new springs all round then a static sag setup and adjusted the damping to suit

 

[cally1066]

Sounds a good deal where abouts are FTR in the UK

Burry st Edmunds suffolk it was a 300 mile round trip for me but well worth it

 

[cally1066]
