Reply To: Suspension Tuning GV650
These are the new rear shock absorbers.
I’m working on getting them dialled in. Ride, adjust, ride, rinse and repeat. Haven’t quite hit the sweet spot but I think that’s a rebound not preload issue. The bladder is very finicky and just checking the pressure can bleed of 10 PSI.
I tend to run with pretty well loaded saddlebags. Finding a sweet spot that gives me good cornering as well as a comfortable ride both with and without panniers, with and without pillion, is proving to be a bit tricky. I’s rather err on the side of the suspension being a bit stiff when solo and no panniers as I’d rather not hassle adjusting preload every time I throw my saddlebags on or happen to have a pillion.
I have not yet addressed the forks. They have not been touched from factory. Not overly excited about having to do a teardown and replace seals, but they are sounding like they are dry
