Triumph rocket 3 gt suspention

[powernutty]

Finding my 20 plus triumph rocket gt suspension feels hard with riding. Special rear while riding on road surface.. anyone have any tips on rear adjustment for a bit softer . Ps my rear tyre pressure is set at 42psi ?
Also the front wheel when turning around corners if u hit a bit off unevern surface . Or like a crack in road surface . It's bloody ass nipping lol

Col and Zig instructions are great! Helped my bike a lot.

I've done the Col and Zig adjustments and feel the improvement but also dropped pressures to 38 and 40.

The manual specifies max soft settings for the rear for a solo rider (compression, rebound, and pre-load all dialed all the way out). "Solo rider" is usually manufacturer parlance for "someone weighing about 180 pounds/82 kg". Unless you're bottoming out, Col and Zig's rear settings are firmer than what the manual specifies, and your only option is to give dropped tire pressures a try or replace parts with aftermarket. Like papanorm, I'm also running 38F/40R.

Used the youtube video off to give it a try

I'm going to try rear preload at 14 clicks since I weigh 180 and Col And Zig are heavier. I also am try front preload at 2 1/2 turns out.

38rear 40 front . Just hit a ridge in road on a around about and **** myself front tyre jumped accross .I nearly hit kerb

38/40 in this instance helped your handling rather than hurt it. The tires would absorb the ridge better.
