Ymmv I'm a total newbie when it comes to adjusting the suspension. It's on my list of things to do for sure.

nhchris Posted August 9, 2019 Author Share Posted August 9, 2019 I'm surprise at how chewed up that sidewall is. Looks like a race tire. Must be pretty soft rubber in those sidewalls. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure I had about 40-42 lbs in it though Play around with it but track it. It's the only thing I actually track on my bikes other than maintenance.

nhchris Posted August 10, 2019 Author Share Posted August 10, 2019 I don't notice much tire noise with my new 5s, despite the deep tread pattern. 1968 Triumph Bonneville 650 1971 Norton Commando Roadster 2002 Harley 1200 Sportster 2003 Honda ST 1300 2016 FJ 09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
