oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I need to get my suspension set up. I've never set up suspension on a super moto. Only my SV650, and that was just springs and emulators and oil. The bike feels like its just sorta floating. Doesn't feel planted. I've set the sag at 3.5. I'm about 175-180 in full gear. (full leathers, helmet ,gauntlet gloves, boots). Do I need to respiring this thing? What can I do to make it feel planted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 it just sorta feels like the front end goes where it wants, it may just me not being used to the riding style of the sumo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) You've got a ton more suspension travel on the sumo, plus it's a totally different chassis. Accept the differences and don't throw money at it trying to make it feel like a sport bike.At your weight, heavier oil should be all you really need...

oldschoolsdime92 Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 okay, fair enough. I guess I just need to get to the track and play with some settings and see if i can get it dialed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
