please explain how this all works
what does it do
and will it help what kind of riding

 

Thats a rebound adjuster on the top of the forks. Usually found on not old bikes. rebound is basically intuitive in nature. aka the speed at which your forks return to extended after hitting a bump.

On your f2, there is no top-of-the-fork preoad adjuster. What is needed is to put a spacer in your fork. It will basically act like a forkcap that is lower, making the spring someone compressed. This is useless in a practical setting because to change the preload on a f2 you have to open the fork and remove the old spacer and put a larger spacer in if you want to make your settings "harder" hense the H and S in the pic.

dont buy a spacer if your thinking of tuning your suspension, cut down a peice or several peices of pvc pipe. It will be cheap and works.

Tuning your suspension is imperative. The bike is made for a single person and not for various riders weight.


Hope this helps if not ask me to clarify

 

why i am asking is the other day i sat on my bike when i pulled it up off the side stand the front end droped a little how do i fix that

 

to go along with that, i like how our manual says the bike is ment for the riders and cargo to not exceed 200lbs!
Fat chick: Oh you haz motorcycle can i ride?
you: Sorry, My bike manual strictly advises against it

 

Ok well now I am lost. What do u mean it "dropped" a bit? Are you saying the forks stick out more off the triple as if your whole triple dropped? Or your body weight made the bike lower once you sat on it?

I also reread my post and i meant rebound adjuster, the springs suck and it wont adjust anything without spacers unless your a 90 lb asian then you will be fine.

 

bike lower once you sat on it?

 

Ok well i have no clue what you are talking about since u responded to my question with another question. What is exactly happening

 

ok lol
when i sit on the bike and lift it off the side stand the front end drops about an inch the trees are all tight so its in the forks maybe low on fluild but i see no leaking i hope this helps

 

The springs are weak. The cheapest way to go is as stated above, cut some spacers a bit longer than the stock ones. Have you had your forks apart before? You'll see that there is a spacer about 3 or 4 inches long that sits on top of the spring. The caps on the tops of the forks screw in and put pressure down on these spacers thus putting pressure on the springs which in turn holds your bike up. Longer spacers mean more spring pressure. The screws simply screw in against a washer on top of the springs putting more pressure on them. Hope that helps.

 

Thank you wrango, I felt like this was going no where. blacken, u have your solution with the spacers, you could also go with a heavier weight oil, f3 front end gsxr front end, lose weight, cut off a leg, yoga, ride from the passengers seat, and another number of things. Hope this helps.
