NC35 fork adjustments

Post by GlenR »

Hey folks, Had a search and didn't see anything specific, nor in the haynes manual surprisingly.

But does the RVF have rebound in one leg and compression in the other? My bike seems to only "click" on the left adjuster but not the right so i was thinking that may be the case.

Also what are the baseline settings for the adjusters on the forks and shock? (aside from sag) Halfway between max and min settings?

Cheers guys!

Both adjusters should "click" and operate in the same manner to set compression/rebound damping. The adjusters are known to seize. Do not understand you comment linking sag and adjuster setting. IMHO adjuster settings are a personal preference based on spring rate, oil weight, riding style and road conditions.

I meant, i've already set the sag so don't need the "setting" for it, poor wording :) But thanks, the adjuster still turns fine so i guess the ball detend has siezed up or something. All good! Thanks :)

Yes i think the easiest way for getting the rebound on them is to set them 1/2 way (say 10 clicks from 20),
then go another 1/2 way (15 click of 20) see how it feels - any better?
No
Go other way 1/2 (5 clicks from 20) see how it feels - any better?
Yes
Go another 1/2 (8 clicks from 20) see how it feels
It takes a little while to sort it, but do it on the same piece of road or track so you are comparing like for like.
If teh oil hasn't been changed for a while it would be well worth putting fresh in too ;)

the adjustment is a combined affair =- the rebound/comp are not seperate.
