suspension

Hello everyone, New to the forum, did some digging first and couldn’t find anything. Maybe I didn’t dig hard enough. If there is a thread out there already existing I apologize for this, tag a link. But my rear shock seems to be “disassembling” itself? I’ll add a photo cause I feel like I’m...

Hi Guys, I am currently desperately in need of adjusting the sag on my st4 but I do not have the spanner and can not find what size spanner is needed. Do any of you know what size spanner it is or have a link to a spanner that you know fits? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, have a new to me 20 V4, but for some reason I find this bike to be very hard to turn. For a backstory I will say my friends have a 2019 V4S and at one point in their early setups I thought that bike turned in way to easily. I suppose the updates for 2020 remedied that instability. But...

As you may or may not know the fork oil market is all over the place with their oil weights. The SAE has a loose tolerance for grading weights. The centistoke is a more precise unit of measurement for viscosity. The owners manual (899) calls out Shell Advance Fork 7.5 which comes in at 22 cSt @...

i am looking to upgrade my 2013 1199r to the higher end ohline suspension. Currently i have the factory electronic stuff but want to go to their high end mechanical suspension. Anyone converted this before? anyone know if the ECU has to be flashed or can I just unplug the old stuff and go about...

Hey there, after years of using the dealer installed suspension settings on my 1199 Base, I want to truly find what is correct for my weight of 210 lbs (without gear). What suspension settings have you guys 200 lbs OR MORE liked best? Did you have to change the Rear Shock Spring? 1)...

I have found in life that you generally get what you pay for...my aim is to give something worth a lot away for FREE - on this forum. In person tuning is a different story... I am posting this thread to give back and to help people because I read through some of these threads and I routinely...

Could you swap the Ohlins suspension from a 959 corsa edition 2019 onto a base 1299.. I got a free set up from my friend and was just wondering... thanks

I have brand new off a bike with 100 miles a set of Showa BPF forks, shock and steering damper from a 2018 bike. Pics available but there is nothing to really see, they are in perfect showroom condition. I guarantee the condition to be mint. $1000 shipped or best offer, no trades, no bs please.

Hi guys, i bought the 1299S 2016 and on the dashboard flashing error DES! I checked the wiring harness from the forks, the steering damper and the rear shock. I found damaged wires on the rear shock. I fixed them, but the error was still flasing. My friend has 1299S 2014, I borrowed a BBS to...

On the V4R rear shock absorber the manual asks for adjusting the shock eye to eye dimension to 315mm when installing the Akra race exhaust system The manual also says that the groove on the lower rod eye thread is supposed to be lined up "just showing" with the lower nut as maximum, but by...

For the track addicts What is best for the track in the V4S fixed suspension or dynamic?

Hey what's up, long time lurker here lol. Recently I was riding just fine but then a day or two ago the bikes rear started feeling loose. It wanted to slide and I had to work to keep it from going some other direction. It was the exact opposite feeling of how it's been riding for months now. I...

I have the V4 (not S) model. Does anyone have any recommended suspension settings for the front and rear? The stock settings are brutal on my ass, way too stiff. I only do street riding/commuting. 5'8" and 175lbs. Solo riding only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Debating whether dropping the Ohlins Nix 30mm cartridge kit or the TTX cartridge kit into my 2015 1299. Any opinions on which riders like better. Depending on cost maybe even the full ohlins road and track nix front forks. But that would really determine on the Nix 30mm cartridge kit or TTX...

Anybody interested in Ohlins Rear suspension? Currently fixed on the bike so would have to dekit. I also have the stock suspension. Either 1 is up for grabs for a decent price :) Thanks!

I have a base 2015 1299 and am thinking about upgrading my front suspension and possibly my rear. The 2 choices I am thinking of are the Bitubo ECH 29 fork cartridges and the GP Suspension 25mm fork cartridges. Maybe even the Ohlins 30mm Nix cartridges. If anyone is running any of these...

Who's tried it? Thanks

Hey All. I'm looking to turn the V4 into a race bike, but I can't find anyone having posted information on the best geometry setup for it. I know Dave Moss did some general suspension videos, but nothing on geometry. Looking to see if anyone has info or figured out the best height of the...
