I downloaded a suspension setup worksheet. It requires two extra guys. One to hold the bike and the other to measure different things (like how much the suspension bounces back in the front and in the back).
So I wonder if this is something guys help each other with? Also - my used bike had the suspension lowered in the front and back and I am curious whether the geometry is set correctly.
It is a 2003 VSTROM Dl1000 and my particular question is bumps on curves on the highway seem to cause just a slight...jiggle?... Oscillation?...Wiggle?..
Anyway I seem to think a bike should be able to take a bump on a slight curve on the highway and stay perfectly on track but hell maybe I am overly sensitive..
Is there a meetup around town and would guys trade rides for comparison?
Sorry about the 20 questions.
I live downtown near the St. Lawrence Market.
