Suspension adjustment

[callam_nffc]

Just reading through the paperwork from revolution regarding my suspension upgrade and how to set preload/rebound etc

I figure how its all done etc but ive come across some specifications

0.85kg/mm spring rate
SAE 7.5 Weight oil grade
135mm air gap

is this a specific set up to a certain person or....?

when i have time im gonna get a mate to help me measure/set it all up

The spring should be weighted to the rider .
So should be the sag .
Air gap and dampening is personal choice and some like more and others like less sag .

is it a kit you have bought, or have they built them up for you ?

[callam_nffc]

the upgrade was done last march but for the previous owner, he was a couple of stone lighter than me id say

Im not sure whether to leave it or not tbh as the bike feels pretty sweet how it handles already

[edds11]

try to get a ride on another storm and see what you think to the way that handles as a comparison just to make up your mind

Been out for a good ride today and the bike felt perfectly fine so think ill probably just leave it alone

Well 0.854 kg/mm is good for a rider weighing 12st with all their kit on.

Well I'm more like 15 with my kit on easily, the bike doesn't dive heavily or anything though :s

Sayin that if that guide is correct, the difference between a spring for a 12 stone rider and 15 stone rider is about 0.06kgmm, which is very marginal, no wonder it feels absolutely fine

great now just ride the butt off it

[callam_nffc]

Certainly did that today mate, had a real good thrash on her, handles a treat
