Couple more blingy bits for the TL.

[98tls]

As above a few more bits and pieces...Preload adjusters,coerce style sprocket cover and a Tri-Metal rear sprocket which is supposed to last 3 times longer as it has an aluminum core with steel teeth which in theroy is better than aluminum teeth and lighter than all steel..who knows we shall see eh....

[BeakerRAT]

Nice, what make is the rear sprocket?

[98tls]

Its called a Tri-metal....if you do a web search for supersprox you should find something....i got this off an outfit in England try www.apexleisure.co.uk they were expensive but if it lasts longer it balances it out a bit...bought it for something different really

[placidfemme]

[Sketchy_Racer]

Damn!


That is one sexy bike you have there man! *droooooollllllsss*

Oh the day i can afford big shiney bikes that go fast....

anyways, lookin good and keep updating us with any further mods :niceone:

[festus]

If you want amazing my brothers (same colour as yours 98tls) is just that.........I'll get some pics and post them............you will be impressed.

[tl_tub]

Well, next 4 days off work, so i figure ill try taking the steering damper off and see how it goes (has ohlins on the back). Anyone tried?

[festus]

Yep, very light, esp riding hard. Wouldn't recommend mono's without damper, and if you do, ensure front wheel straight as a die dude........or it'll be tank slapper time.......

[tl_tub]

Oh, mm, true. Just run 2.5 oil in the damper then? Best of both worlds?

[imdying]

Would probably be a plan. They had the rep for being a little flighty early on in their careers, I'm not sure why you'd want to go down a path that was known to be flawed?

[tl_tub]

It seems most people believe the handling problems were related to the shoddy rear damper locking up. From what ive read, having the ohlins damper solves a lot of problems, appart from the slapping you would get coming down from a wheelie i guess, as featus mentions. Correct me if ive come to the wrong conclusion?

[imdying]

Seems reasonably sound, seems like cheap insurance though seeing as you have one :D But you're a good law abiding rider, you wouldn't be doing high speed crossed up wheelies now would ya :D

[tl_tub]

Nup, still getting the confidence in even going around corners, and after riding a fully kitted out bmw 1150 the other day, i realised just how badly mine goes around corners.
Try to counter steer and the bike just moves a lil bit. It really seems to be the damper holding it back as there is no way i could do slow riding around cones on it, thats for sure

[imdying]

Well, start with your tyre pressures... it'll always (no matter how much $$$ spent on suspension) handle like a truck if they're up the ghey. Maybe one of the welly crew knows how to set TLs up correctly?

Hi Brent, hope you are enjoying the Capital:sunny:

I did the 2.5wt in the damper. Very easy mod to do and lightens up the front a lot. Still lots of control. Well worth doing.:yes:

Sort that bike mate:nya::sunny:

That is a very nice bike mate:rockon: , I have changed my desktop:yes:

[tl_tub]

Hey Man, yep, im here in the Capital. Feels like ive spent more time out town due to the huge amount of training i need to become a quality employee :first:
The bike is going well and will get a couple of trips in the next few days as I have 4 off. I will try the bike on local roads without the damper while im putting 2.5 oil in it.

Are you going to the cold kiwi?

No I am to much of a wussss for that.

Some guys are real happy with the damper of, I was happy with it on:blip: and also very grateful at times:yes:

[98tls]

If you want amazing my brothers (same colour as yours 98tls) is just that.........I'll get some pics and post them............you will be impressed. :yes: love to see the pics mate......hey brent if a bit of xtra loot comes your way theres always the option of an adjustable steering damper..:blip...or then again just ride flat out everywhere and you will find the stock one fine.:yes:

[tl_tub]

Well, I did a little riding around today without the damper, and the difference is amazing! I did fill it up with 2.5 oil, but I dont think i want to put it back on!
I am taking the bike over the rimutukas tomorrow arvo so will find out for sure then. Wish me luck :blip:

Churr bro! Love the attention to detail. :doobey:

[tl_tub]

Damper off over the rimutukas, bloody nice! I was sure i couldnt ride before, but now I realise it was just because of the damper!
It was a little twitchy over bumps when cornering, but i guess thats to be expected. What else can i say, other than great fun!

[98tls]

take care Brent....they didnt put dampers on them for nothing and when it slaps it will slap hard.....will be leaving mine on.

[tl_tub]

The reason i tried it is because a chap in masterton said he had never had one on his bike and never had any problems. If i hadnt of heard that I would not have tried it. :scooter:
