hi rajnish i have got my cbz rear shocks adjusted by 3 steps .. this does helps me take corners and sharp curves easily but my front end becomes stiff on plain roads or the handle becomes tighter to turn or control the bike.. could this be rectified ..???? my mech says 3 step turns in the rear shock is the medium pre load adjustment.. is it right ???

I think the medium setting (3rd step) is ideal. In case u know u will driving fast on smooth surface then ... there are tools available in the toolkit to change the setting.

yeah i myself change the settings now.. went to a hilly area recently on my bike and changed the shock setting to the max all 5 steps and it did wonders to the ride .. the bike was very stable at bends but back to plains i had to immdtly change it to medium coz on plains the max 5 step setting ride was horrible.

my pulsars shockers are on the fifth point... result... wati found was dat... better handling... easier wheelies... easier stoppies....but still no burnouts...

krome how do ur bike behaves on broken roads?

i 'v my setting at 3..
but lifted rear shock by 1.15 inch.. with extra weiding..
it handles better at high speed ..due to forward wt. distribution.
handles better.. and brakes are supurb.. here in ktm.

adjusting rear shocks makes it hard to get a pillion seated

**krome** · 05-07-2003, 11:48 AM

handles bad buddy...... ouch.......

speed rocks?? wat do u mean???

**rajnish** · 05-07-2003, 12:54 PM

yup third step is medium and it is ideal setting but in mixed road conditions.for rough soft or total smooth surface hard to promote handeling.adding spacers to rear shocks is not good as it puts more load on already soft front.for really sharp handling use stiffer springs in the front tubes.

**nav75** · 05-07-2003, 03:09 PM

ne body tried ybx shocks...heard they are quiet hard.

**rajnish** · 05-07-2003, 03:18 PM

Just the springs.tube dia is almost same for all.can try using thicker shock oil.

**nav75** · 05-07-2003, 03:23 PM

thicker shock oil ???? How we differenciate in that.. is there some grading? Also how much diff it will make?

**rajnish** · 05-07-2003, 03:44 PM

yes they have grades like engine oil.thicker oil gives more compression to forks.u need good oil seals as well for forks.

stiffer front shocks would mean better wheelies and stoppies??
