    I like the lift in the front. I can dial it out, as you say, but I am enjoying it at the moment. Added value on a harder ride. I am just a boy at hart. When I say it lifts the front we are not doing the big wheelie thing just up off a little and the throttle controls it nicely.Thanks for your time and info.
    Roll on tomorrow. Hope I have enough tyre to get to Paeroa and back
    and that at the end of the day is what its all about ,,enjoying it .... The reason why I like MX ,,,I can go nuts ...and the boys in Blue cant do squat!!!!

    It has been a fantastic learning experience. I think I have set it up as well as I can.
    The wave has gone from the right and is very small on the left. The reason for this is answered by Sugilite. The left hand side of the adjustment is 0ne turn further out than the right. I counted it the night I posted here but there you go. I got it wrong. Will fix it tomorrow.
    Well spotted Sug.
    I have one more tip for people who go out and pursue this interest. Warm up the tyres before you get to excited about carving up the corners.:eyepoke: Believe me it helps. Try and get on a track to do it.
    I have had a ball. Learnt so much and the ride is so good now. I can say the bike will out corner my nerves. So I guess I should move to the track if I want to continue this. However after today I think I should just ride and enjoy what I have learnt. Today's ride cut a shit load of rubber off the rear and the bike rode like a dream. I have not come across the shingle or the oil on the road in the last 4 days so I have had a great time but time to slow it down.

    Many thanks people for taking the time. This has renewed my interest in the bike. It is so pleasing to improve the ride and the response of the bike and spend no money. Getting the most out of what I paid for in the first place.


    Anyway thanks all.
    Think a call to Cycle treads is on the cards soon.

    You have that wrong Dave, I might be able to keep you in sight. That TL, with you in the saddle, is one hard arse speed machine.

    Anyway as I am now an older gentleman I will slow to a more appropriate speed for my age.............




    not
