SAGGY BITS

#1 Post by tommy » Sun Aug 23, 2009 6:31 pm

Just set up sag up.
FUCK ME! it really does make a diffence! Its great :smt001 :smt001 :smt001
My handle bars shake pretty bad when getting a shift on, put it down to needing a steering damper
Got gold forks - to do the front sag, i had to completely unwind the preload, bit odd, but i put it down to having sit up and beg riding position
Ohlins rear is now making a difference

I've been saying this is the best "free" improvement you can do on a bike for years.........

The std steering damper from the Mille will fit the Falco no bother and works fine. Your riding position does have a big bearing on the static sag, this is probably why the bike is now feeling a bit light on the front when you get on the throttle
