Lee, you will need to adjust your suspension after losing that much weightleevtr wrote:Oi nobby, I'll have you know I'm only 12.5 stone nowadays.....Havent had a cake in ages !!!!cybercarl wrote:No lee you don't need to do any of that.

I'd also be concerned about the touching.......leevtr wrote:Lost the weight before I bought the bike, but your concern is touching
.....but why would you break the habit of a lifetime mucka????leevtr wrote:Had a look at my wheels today and decided they needed a bit more black, so got me another can of 2k and blew over them again. ( 3 cans used ).
Now I'm a bit worried that all that paint will add to the unsprung weight of the bike, and the wheels being heavier will add to the gyroscopic effect, meaning it wont want to turn in.
So, to counteract this, I will add a 6mm shock spacer at the rear, and pull the forks through the yokes a little, but then it may be a bit unstable, especially in the more bumpy turns.
So, to counteract this, I'll have to take out a loan and order an Ohlins Steering damper...only the best will do.
Or....I could stop talking like a tw@, and just ride the fcuking thing !!!!!!

How about this for a middle ground... You do whatever you like to your bike... And feel or not feel it as much as you want...mattycoops43 wrote:Thanks chaps, I was expecting to be shot down in flames tbh!
Agree there is or there was a big difference in corner tip in for me with the 6mm shock spacer when i had the 954 front on the bike, never tried it with the standard front but should imagine i would be able to tellTweety wrote:How about this for a middle ground...

But I can feel the difference those 5-10-15 mm does to the handling of the bike if and when I change things... So I'll refrain from flaming you about what you do, but you get a small one for the statement about what I can and cannot feel... Like other said, I'll ride the bike two blocks and then I'll tell you if you have a 3 mm, 6 mm or no shock spacer on there...
It's now hanging in shame.Ok guys, very funny. Who's been taking bits off my bike??
