Rider Weight
Read many forums regarding fork/shock/suspension upgrades. Are these mostly needed due to elevated rider weight? I weigh 160 and find the stock settings just fine.

I think the quoted "out of the factory" settings are for a 180 pound rider.
|
If the stock settings are good for you then I wouldn't even worry about it. But yes, rider weight plays a role in upgrades.

RaceTech claims it is set up for someone who weighs about 115 lbs. Do you know anybody over the age of 11 or 12 who weighs 115 lbs.? In my opinion, the biggest F*ck up Honda made with the VTR is the front suspension. |
yes...bigger guys like me need a little work for the suspension :shock:
|
The front matches 130 pounds, the rear 300... hence the need for work...

Lack of adjustability and when pushed to limits it pushes back! :(
