1200 DVT Preload - On Rhs Fork Leg

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Wayne58, Jul 5, 2017.

  1. Just curious, based on the descriptions above it sounds like the front suspension on the bike is initially setup for zero rider weight? Looking at the math above dialing in 6 turns @ 15kg for a total of 90kg and rider weight is 90kg. Is that correct?

  2. Calculation is right. Mine was set up at 5 in from full out, so 75kg, so not set at zero by any means. Some seem to be, some not. Could be PDI, no idea :)
     
  3. mine was set for a 7.5 kg rider at half a turn in !! So I'm well impressed with the change:upyeah:
     
  4. Cool I am going to give it a try when I get home tonight thanks for the insight. Mine is set at a half a turn also.
     
  5. Hey Robert, let us know what you think, IMO it transforms the bike :upyeah:
     
  6. It will, as it puts the suspension in the right operating bracket (providing the spring is heavy enough) for the skyhook
     
  7. The Ohlins
    The Ohlins on the Pikes Peak has a maximum of 15 turns between fully out and fully loaded. So, I wonder if that's 15 x 10 Kg or 15 x 15 kg
     
  8. Ohlins forks? May be the spring is different too, not just weight but also linear not progressive.

    Got to be worth a go though as you describe above 15x10kg :upyeah:
     
  9. Yep agreed to all and after that £50 for professional setup as Wayne previously recommended

  10. The manual states that the spring preload initial setting is 10 turns (fully open). I've never checked mine, but I'm going to after reading this thread..!
     

  11. Looks like your photo shows a Pikes Peak. Ohlins is 15 turns

  16. The results are very very good.... Enjoy!
     
  17. Just checked mine and it was set at about 3/4 turn in from fully out. Now changed it to 5 turns in from fully out, (I'm approx 80kg) so am expecting a firmer ride next time. Will have to restore the dash suspension settings to 'Default' and go from there. Have got used to the way it rides after a year so am expecting it to be too firm now, especially on some of the local B roads!
