Works fine from tapatalkvideo unavailable.
This is my point. Just a simple bolt on. So surely every manufacturer would fit it, if it was a simple improvementi understand the principals behind it,it's not new technology,which makes you wonder,if it works so easily+cheaply installed,why isn't it used at much lower levels than MGP,F1 etc?.
it says im talking bollax please ignore me and turn the video offWTF does this even say?
Calibration: Performing the calibration is very simple:
1. Turn the red ring towards the (sign +) until it reaches the stroke end, in this way the spring that contrasts the mass will have the minimum calculated preload and the mass will resonate to a greater amplitude and a lower frequency.
2. Use the vehicle and try to pay attention to the sensation that you feel regarding the swinging of the rear swing arm in rough terrain, entry into corners, sharp braking and travel of the bent curve.
3. Turning the red knob towards the (sign -) you will notice that the sensations that were perceived before will vary and will be more or less intense. Then rotate to the position where you will notice less oscillation of the rear and you will have a more direct feeling with the suspension.
This reminds of those magnetic gadgets that you put in fuel tanks to increase mpg, smells of snakeoil!
I can see how a sprung mass could possibly be used to damp out an unpleasant harmonic frequency that causes chatter, but seriously....I?m sure Ohlins and the rest can do/do do all that stuff already? I can?t see that little bit of extra mass making much difference anyway to rear ?pump? on the power at the limit of traction. I?d have thought those kinds of problems would be dialled out with damping on the shock?
Yet another example of making a buck by pulling the wool!
In extremis, when pump occurs, you?re trying to shed a huge amount of energy, that little mass floating in springs and oil would be overwhelmed very quickly. A good sign of if it?s doing anything at all, I mean anything, would be the temperature of the device after a good work out. I bet it?s stone cold...I concur, this is ?400 you could put towards a decent shock.
I'm reading The Racing Motorcycle, pages 297+ on chatter as at 4min in the video mentions chatter. Chatter doesn't happen to most people, and whilst it can be caused by the rear it ultimately manifests at the front. So I'm trying to work out why he's talking about it before he goes on. Side note, chatter happens at about 15-20hz. Which is like trying to hold onto a pneumatic drill...
