Very true, that is why mileage and grip comments are meaningless IMO

Re: Electronic Suspension Adjustment - 2012 TC

My bike, my brother in laws 2015 GS, they both alter height when static, changing from comfort/normal/sport, surely they all do this?

Re: Electronic Suspension Adjustment - 2012 TC

Not sure about the front shock, but the second last paragraph confirms that the spring rate (preload) alters on the move when changing from comfort to normal etc., the only way the bike height can be raised is by the preload being increased. A quick smooth road is better in normal mode, i don't have...

Re: Electronic Suspension Adjustment - 2012 TC

Height change on my bike is very prominent when changing the ESA settings, the ESA must change preload as well as damping, no other way for it to work, also when the bike is loaded it requires more preload, damping on its own will not work. Non ESA bikes, you would increase preload if carrying more ...

Re: Electronic Suspension Adjustment - 2012 TC

My experiences of trying out the ESA in different modes for differing riding situations are this. Comfort for most undulating and rough surfaces is best for slow, medium speed even up to about 80% of its abilty, if you really go for it then normal is required to keep it under control. If the road su...

Re: Additional compartment behind speaker grill

Great work, does the speaker grill just pop off for access to the cavity?

Cam chain tensioner oil leak.

Found a puddle of oil below a cylinder, on investigating the cam chain tensioner bolt had slackened allowing a drip of oil to run down onto the header. Had to remove the throttle body to get access to tighten said bolt. After doing a bit of homework on this it seems to be a common problem with these...

Re: Electronic Suspension Adjustment - 2012 TC

When setting a bike up for racing you soften the bike off for bad surfaces, when the surface is smooth you stiffen it all up as you do not need so much, and do not want so much suspension travel. It is exactly the same on the road, soften for rough and stiffen for smooth, ideally you want a compromi...
