slow speed handling

[jyro]

I put 38 psi in front and 42 in the back. I’m going to try a little more pressure in the front. I tried flipping the two up switch in the back and noticed that it got worse, that why I thought it was suspension. after the pressure experiment, I’m going to experiment with more preload in the front.

thanks for the replies

Usually this is corrected by adding more air to the front tire.

The same can occur with a low rear tire and properly inflated front (it can IME, anyway).

Wow, the obvious so often escapes me. I never thought about the rear, seems to make sense though.

Now your getting to it, Test and retest.

I have a 3 mile loop I do from my home, got some good tight twisties and sweepers, some smooth spots, rough breaking and accelerration bumps, just a good mix. I make adjustments to the suspension and ride the loop for a test.

You have to ride the same exact stuff over and over to get a clear picture of what your suspension is doing. Then make an adjustment, and go test it.

This is the only way to know the differances that even a small change in compression, rebound and your preloads make on your bike while you ride it.

Make sure your stock settings are at least correct. I have heard of people actually having one fork set soft on comp. and the other set hard (stiffer). Now thats gotta feel strange!
