    Normal unleaded or premium unleaded

    I always put regular 95 octane gas, when i tried premium 100 octane the bike felt a bit more agressive but the milleage seemed shorter. Allthough the 09's triple is a high combustion engine that allows the higher-octane fuel use.. For me it's not worth the extra cost and from my Subaru's...

    Normal unleaded or premium unleaded

    I think that in US the metric system is different.. your premium 92 could be rated 102 RON in EU..

    Just had my stock suspension set up professionally...

    Hi Richie ! For light weight riders 68-70kg as me the font's sag is OK (less than or about 40mm) and because of the fact that the fork is not preloaded it doesn't have "forced" rebound's reaction. Believe me, this work's fine when there isn't a heavy rider on seat and provides faster entry in...

    Just had my stock suspension set up professionally...

    Welcome to the forum and happy new year! As i'm the same weight as you (68-70kg/150-154lbs) i suggest you until you find time to visit a specialist, to set the front springs preload at 6 rings showing (soft) and set the right leg's rebound reduced enough to avoid "pogo-stick" phenomenon after...

    new boy

    Wish you to enjoy your new MT and to discover its "supermotard" manners !!! Snatchines of my bike is reduced after installation of a hi-flow air filter, after reducing throtle's free play and get used to bike's character.. I don't think that is a serious matter for a rider experienced on CB1000R !

    2 R/H Side Cartridge Upgrade and zx10r Shock, Stoked

    Conti Attack's wear is faster than... smoke a cig:cool: try to find ratings compare to PR4.. Your "pack-rack" is for many uses... hope that was for easier stand-up wheelies. Thanks for the info. Air filter is a cheap "must". if you like it as it is you don't need to reflashit..:eek:

    Tyre wear

    Most of us allready know how good are the Michelin Pilot Road 4... Allthough i have to say that is the most "hi-mileage" tyre i've ever use. I'd change the OEM D214 at 9696km for PR4s which i kept them on bike till today. My odometer was at 24.751km when i was visit tyre-shop in the afternoon...

    slight waggle at speed

    Because of the bike is so light when were on dual riding the front has a lot less weight to press the wheel downforce. If there is a side wind then the wobbling starts earlier, after 170-180km (110mph) I've felt what you wrote many times... The opposite symptom is when accelerating and the...

    I've got Ohlins linear springs 9kg/mm in my fork. I use Denicol fork-oil sae5 400cc in each leg.. If i have more quantity of oil the more suffer for the o-rings after hard touchdowns when wheeling. After winter i'll change the fork oil and try something thicker as sae 7,5 Ohlins or WP. For the...
