Bar End Weights

Get the bike back this afternoon.....bent dog bones on the jack up kit looks to be a contibuting factor, now back on standard. Frame, forks, wheel alignment all checked out ok. We are going to some testing over the next week or two and adjustments made to suit.

Hope it was as simple as that. Have fun testing

Jeez. How would someone bend a dog bone? The previous owner must have been a gorilla. Or an elephant. Or maybe he was riding motocross on it. Hope it turns out ok and glad the alignments all checked out for you! Nothing like knowing you've got a straight bike...

I think that once you have replaced the dog bones it will make a huge difference. I also think that the nitrons are possibly slightly longer than the standard shock to improve handling, so if you fitted the nitron with a jack up kit the bike would feel really twitchy and would fall too easily into corners and weave in a straight line. If you try it once you put standard dogbones and it doesn't fix it i will take a look at it for you, as i am in Glasgow. I have owned 3 gen 1's over the last 8 years, so have a good idea how it should behave. I also know the boys from dynotech as i had my zx636b1h set up on there dyno years ago. Let me know how you get on. Cheers, Nick.

So far so good, took a detour on the way home from the garage last night and very a noticeable difference for the better. Going out on my TT course this morning which has a combination of more or less everything to give it a right good test.....sun is shining, roads are dry and have a full tank.

 My usual TT course is A77 to Fenwick to Kilmaurs to Stewarton to Neilston to Barrhead to Lugton to Dunlop to Stewarton then Stewarton Rd back to the Mearns, 50 miles in total.
 
This time I went a bit further and went straight through Lugton to Ardrossan and on to Largs, 120 miles in total
 
Results time.........effin awesome, its like a new bike and is running and riding as I knew it could. 
 
You are right on the Nitron Shock, it is longer than standard and with the jack up kit on it was way too high at the back end making it steer in way too quickly for my liking.
 
Thanks for all you Foccers advice, its totally transformed the bike

Glad you got it sorted   I sometimes go the route you are talking about, but when setting suspension  i always use the eaglesham moors road, as there are several high speed dips, which is great for setting the compression and rebound damping. Enjoy your summer riding
