I decided to check the suspension on the bike and dial in defaults if it was not already done at the factory.
Turns out, it was not already done at the factory
I decided to read the click positions on the valve adjustments. Starting on the top of the forks, rebound.
Left fork turned in. 18 clicks.
Right fork turned in. 17 clicks. wait what?
try right again, back out, 17 clicks huh. Turn in, 17 clicks. I have different number of adjustment clicks on my forks for the rebound valves...
I dial them both 9 clicks out of in.....
Laying on the floor fork compression valves checked. Again all the way out on both. 12 click positions on both. I set them both 6 clicks out of in...
Rear shock, 12 clicks, again set 6 out of in...
A good starting position.
Now for sag, erm. I have no idea how I'd get a shock wrench in there let alone have room to swing it. Looks like I will have to resort to screwdriver and rubber mallet. How cave man... on second though I'll leave it alone for now and adjust later in case I come up with any better ideas.
Back to front forks, rake angle. Reduced it by three bars from my original default setting of full on chopper style all the way to the top. I've riding the bike today and have a feel for how it handles with the longer wheelbase/rake. I'll test ride it tommorrow to get a feel for how this works on the street when normally it is adjusted for race track conditions on the dirt on a given day.
EDIT: Adjusting this will also affect the sag setting for those that want to dial that in perhaps do that after any changes here.
