I didn't !

I wrote Jamie & Virt...Man & you know the rest you've been struggling with it for years now ever since that christening dress...

Spent four hours cleaning it and going over the bike, removed about a hundred shards of glass from the rear tire, this is probably why it started to feel wombles the other week, I rode through a big car crash but didn't think to check the tires after

Big clean on the bike ready for a ride tommorw

Cleaned and polished up reet good

missed a small bit of muck on the flap under the bottom triple clamp (yoke) - 5th picture down

Top Tip - don't try and blow dry your bike with a hair drier takes ages and its pants, best to buy a proper one or just stick to micofibre cloths to pat dry the wombles

Looks good Seb want to do mine?

Could someone please tell me the 3 adjustable bits. I know the spring. But what does the remote bit adjust. What does the Grey wheel at the bottom adjust Thanks Paul. I know the bottom threads adjust the ride height.

In other equally unnecessary news, the grass is green.

Remote adjusts compression damping and bottom adjusts rebound damping

Ta so remote adjust how fast spring goes down and rebound how fast it comes back up??. Not sure yet where to put the actual spring. any advice.

Stripped out all the swinging arm, greased all the linkage and fitted the WP Shock, changed the oil and filter and a quick test ride even though it was hacking it down it felt so much better. I need to get the adjustments right along with the Rogered Forks.Took it for its MOT bloody advisory for "Noisy Exhaust" lol

Stiff I have about 38mm sag but without riding it to test it it most likely change .

43mm for mine today!!!!

That's right mate. Bike needs 8mm static sag, then when suspension is pushed down rebound damping should be set to return as fast as possible but under control. As for compression damping Roger recommended my Penske be set at number 4 for road use and 6 for track use. Hope that helps but I'm sure there will be a link on the forum somewhere for more detailed explanation.

Took mine out for a ride and it feels so much better with the new wp shock fitted .
Just need to play with settings now

Glad to hear your enjoying the shock such a vast improvement over stock

It is,it did feel a bit odd to start, felt higher up, but by 20 miles it was great, once id got used to it. I think the rebound is returning a bit slow though.overall very very happy with it. Now just a belly pan!!!!
