Looking for advice on what setting to run the rear suspension ,flat or progressive ? Mine set Flat at the mo. Also anyone had any dealings with Race Lab in Wimborne Dorset They seem to be the nearest suspension guys to me,if a little expensive at £99
I would recommend Darren at mct transformed my 1199 S, mines in progressive ,actually moves now, give him a call worth it ,
Cheers Jimmy, I have read good things of MCT But a little to far for me While running in . I'm going to go with JHP, Just need to book it now but going to cost £157 set up And if the rear spring requires replacing another £70:Bored: But money well spent if the end results compliant suspension
I had the suspension set up last week Paul at Race Lab done the work, I weigh 13 stone, Not really had time to get out and try it ,so going reserve judgement till I done a few miles. Figures in brackets was how the bike was set up when I rode in. He would have liked more adjustment on the front rebound . sUSPENSION SET-UP data NAME:Terry Britton BIKEucati Panigale 1199 ‘14 LOCATION:Workshop DATE:26/07/14 FRONT SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT RANGE SETTING Preload 10.5 full turns (6) 3 High Speed Compression N/A - Low Speed Compression 31 clicks (11) 15 Rebound 22 clicks (l/h 9)(r/h 7)2 REAR SUSPENSION ADJUSTMENT RANGE SETTING Preload ≈33mm (9.5mm) 7.5mm High Speed Compression N/A - Low Speed Compression 23 clicks (10) 20 Rebound 20+ clicks (5) 4 SAG (mm) FRONT REAR Static (23) 28 (5) 10 Rider (37) 40 (23) 30
I had JHP do mine last year. 3000 miles later the bike still rides perfectly. Lots of different views so the best thing is to find a trusted mechanic/dealer who listens to what you want to achieve. Apart from changes to the basic settings I also changed to my spring rates, oil level, etc. Best money I ever spent. BTW I run my rear 'F'. I did try 'P' but felt its a cheaters way to soften the rear when actually you need to be looking at spring rates, etc. With the correct setup 'F' is epic unless of course you have a pillion.
I changed mine to "P" before I went out on Sunday morning I think P means Pogo !!! I'm 14 st so with leathers & kit on that most fail to calculate I'm probably 15.5 on the bike & I still think the rear spring is too stiff.
Mine set on flat The bikes definitely more compliant Since Paul set up. It's not night and day ,but better. The more I ride it the more I appreciate the work Paul done. Well worth a £100
Hi. I tried to change mine from F to P. Was happy in F as i like stiff suspension but i ride 2up and manual warns to change it to P... anyway, while screwing back the top screw it panched the bracket through on the suspension tripod. Had to take to metropolice Barnet. They never heard of changing to P thing... What i am asking is that when the link is i P it looks precariously screwed out with two week points on the screw where nudges are. Also, because the link is sitting deeper inside the tripod, attached to the furthest screw hole, it looks that there is more chance for it to get it pinched in the bracket thus snapping the link which is thing as it is. Also, the fact the screw got snaped and broke the bracket whel being screwed in with not much torque does not inspired much confidence. Any thoughts guys?
