Who News cont.:
I asked Matt from Sportsbike Tyres & Suspension what “exclusive suspension
evaluation and adjustment program” you get for $45 as mentioned in WhoNews
earlier. Here is his response:
“The
suspension evaluation consists of setting sags for bike application and using
Race Tech or Ohlins data to get spring rates and
valving recommendations. Basically, we set your suspension to suit your weight
and your application whether that be road or track,
beginner or advanced. Measurements taken are top-out, static sag and rider sag.
Pre-load, compression and rebound adjustments are made where possible.
Recommendations are then made if necessary to correct spring rate and valving.
A detailed print-out of measurements and recommendations is given at the end of
the program.”
