Niall’s Set-up Tips

Tyres

Check pressures weekly

Experiment with recommended pressures but only a few psi at a time

Do some homework with other owners for good or bad feedback before replacing and shop around

Suspension

Depending on use suspension should be serviced or replaced at a maximum of three years

Start with manufacturers settings or if not known, 60% of available adjustment is a good start

For harder riding increasing  spring preload and compression damping will reduce weight transfer under braking and acceleration

The rear’s more important than the front so get that right first

Brakes

Don’t abuse them from cold or stop suddenly after hard braking to avoid warping discs

Remove pads and clean them, especially after hard riding

Chain

Check for wear and adjustment to avoid excessive sprocket wear and help handling

Comfort

Adjust levers, gearshift and throttle free play for ease of use

Also, if available, make use of your bike’s seat, handlebar and footrest adjustment
