Suspension adjustment.
Suspension is firm but rideable on smooth surfaces, but overly harsh on our poorly maintained roads. What are the usual adjustments? .... it's a 2013 Evo.

On Chris.p's recommendation, I sent my forks to K-tech and had exactly the same upgrades as him: http://www.ukmonster.co.uk/monster/s...ad.php?t=51391 And the results were the same - a great improvement. So, unfortunately, unless you're prepared to upgrade them, I don't think you're going to find much improvement simply via the adjusters. |

Suspension issues.
Thanks for the info, my Evo is part of my "stable" and therefore "investment" is limited by SWMBO.....so I'll have a go at some adjustments first of all.
In general I enjoy the Evo experience, great fun on the open and twisties, but the urban riding issues are disappointing , my mate has an early 1200 'Strada S which is a joy, OK it cost £14k, but I have to admit that I'm reluctant to throw to much money at a bike with factory designed "issues". |
