I recently purchased a new 08 610...... My problem is I am finding the front end very twitchy and deflecting off even the smallest hits....It dives very quickly through the initial part of the stroke I have set my sag on the rear and have measured front sag at 45mm...I believe it should be around the 20 to 30mm. I was thinking of adding a 10mm shim to the preload..... Has anyone experienced similar problems? Any help would be great... Would love to get a tuner to help but not game to ask the missus for the money so soon after buying the bike!!
First thing I would do is drop the forks in the clamps about a quater of an inch and add about 20 cc of fork fluid to each fork and crank up the comp clickers about 4 notches. Love to hear how you go mate. Good job on the sate of origin too.
ghte As far as the State of Origin goes I'm a Cockroach from the South Coast..Stuck in Queensland! Haven't I copped a bashing! The 08 610 did not come out with compression clickers!! Will try bumping up the oil and see how I go!
You can have compression clickers easily put in and also have the shimm stacks changed for the type of riding you do. I have had my forks re-sprung for my weight, machined and re-valved and the shimm stack organized for fast whooped out sand. The springs - 2 front and 1 rear were only $260 for my weight delivered to my door. The front forks and the rear shock rebuilds were a total of $406. I spent a bit over $600 on the suspension and out of anything else you could possibly do the bike, this has by far made the most difference. Send me a PM and I will give you all the details of how you can get springs and who can do your suspension up there. Cheers Stu
