I was curious if there is anyone in the sacramento area that would be willing to help me get the suspension adjusted....I am somewhat suspension ignorant. My set up is stock on the forks but with a fork brace and mcl upper triple clamp replacement. The rear is a works performance shock with compression, pre load and rebound. I can go to you, or you can ride to my garage. I would be willing to compensate you. I would do this myself but is hard to check sag, etc alone and I would love to learn more about the suspension and adjustments....is this bikes biggest shortcoming to me so far.

I can turn a clicker as well as the next guy if you want to head up to my place. I've got the wrenches and the roads to get you dialed in. Problem is I'm about 1.5 hours up the hill from you off Hwy 88 and Hwy 26. There will be a homework assignment if you take me up on this. :p

Brad you still trying to get those rain gutters cleaned? :huh:

 
Will adjust FJR suspension in exchange of rain gutter cleaning?

I'd rather ride on crap suspension! :D

Uberkul, I appreciate the offer. If I can't find someone a bit more local I may take you up on that offer..... But I wouldn't be able to make it out there for a couple of Weeks.

No worries. By homework I meant you would need to determine what weight you want to use as your default weight. Solo, two-up with or without gear/baggage to set sag.

Gutter cleaning...that's easy, I need a greens keeper to make the front yard weeds look presentable. :blink:

I have my seven year old daughter this weekend so I wont be out riding this weekend, unless you happen to be riding near sac this weekend, I will be home. I live near I-80 and madison ave. I would be more than happy the exchange a beer for some help with sag height, etc...

I think I asked you to help me do the same thing about 2 years ago and we never got together. I also never adjusted my suspension. :blushing:

no worries - happy to come to you. I work downtown, so the bike knows the way from riding to Sac everyday, and there's probsbly something I need from cycle gear, even if I don't really need it. but time w/ your daughter is important too, so whatever works.

I can always use and excuse to do both of those things, not to mention an excuse to ride. Let me know when would be a good time to buy you a cold one.
