Suspension Settings

I am just a over 80kg and dropped my yokes down the legs 10mm to put more of my weight over the front end and found it helped

 

Despite what the manual says, I've fussed about with rear preload to set my sag. The adjustment mechanism is there, after all (at least on my 2014 model it is). If it ain't broke, I'll break it.

Thus far, I've lived to tell.

 

Absolutely. no reason not to adjust the rear preload.

 

i find the ride on mine a tad too stiff i will need to look at handbook,going to try slight adjustments to soften the suspension.

 

Hi. May be I’m a bit thick, but I’ve never heard of throws. What are throws?

 

just big covers the Mrs uses them on new sofa to protect it from the dog l.o.l.

the rear on mine feels like it's a hardtail.

 

Travel. Now I understand. Thanks.

 

I have just had my 17 R revalved front and rear as it was too stiff on the softest damping settings. I weigh 75kg without gear and was getting kicked out of the seat and thrown off line mid corner on bumpy back roads. I haven’t tried the new settings in anger yet but had an hour out on Sunday and the suspension is more compliant now. Still firm but able to absorb harsh bumps. I was a bit annoyed that the factory damping adjustment was so firm given I have had other ohlins equipped bikes where the road damping was spot on from new. The suspension guy told me the road testing for triumph is carried out in south east Spain where the roads are smooth as glass which might explain it.
