So on suspension, when I turn it to "H" direction, then I am turning it "up" correct?
I thought I got a picture of it, but I did not, however if memory serves me at the bottom of the front forks is the compression and I remember thinking the arrows it shows is opposite of the rest of the directions. Like counter clockwise is "H". I am going to have to double check that one. So is the course of action to dial clockwise regardless of the "H" or "S" indication, ride it a while, then dial them CCW till it feels good? If so, do you start moving the rebound first then the compression, or vise versa, or move the both at the same time? Sorry for all the questions, I went for a ride the other day and I loved it but the suspension was significantly throwing my confidence off. On the short 1.5 mile run down the highway to the road I turned off to hit the trail, it felt like I was on a pogo stick kinda. Then on the trail it just seemed to harsh in a way I cannot describe. I plan to ride again this afternoon hopefully, and I'll take a screwdriver with me, just looking for some guidance to dialing this in. |
H = Hard (clockwise), S = Soft (counter clockwise)
EDIT/correction: The above applies to the rear shock (both settings) and the rebound setting on the fork tubes (top) It is the OPPOSITE on the front compression setting (lower adjuster) XNewt took a pic (post #1365/1366) H = Hard (counter clockwise), S = Soft (clockwise) Sorry for the mistake! |

Here is the picture and why I am wondering if they may have labeled this backwards?

I must not understand how to post pictures. Here is the link to the google drive where I put the picture.

I corrected that. I forgot the lower fork setting is the opposite!

What sprockets are you running, and is your exhaust a complete header back system? And did your fat bar fit the stock bar risers? |
Is there a general consensus on this bike? I'm an avid dirt rider looking for something to hang off of the back of our rv for general runabout use and light trail use. Any response is appreciated.

You'll love it. There's something to be said about going fast on a slow bike and this one delivers on most anything you can throw at it and when anything breaks cheap to repair.. loads of fun.. coming from an old time kx80, rm 125 guy (2 stroke of course) and tons of street bikes fast and slow

In any case my opinion is that my Templar is like 80% dirt and I'd probably really be better suited by something closer to a 50-50 dual sport. BUT I am still all about the enduro styling and capability anyway and am keeping it. :) |
Engine oil change interval
Trying to get a consensus on oil changes. My 6-speed just passed 225 miles and I am planning ahead on oil change. Lots of different opinions on the intervals, conventional vs synthetic, and the capacity for oil changes. I had mine replaced with Mobile 15w-40 synthetic T6 at 0 mile, and had bought a gallon of Rotella T6 ready for the next change. I would appreciate your thoughts on this topic.
I apologize if this subject has been discussed before, unless I missed over use browsing and keyword search. Many thanks, Frank |
