Hi all,
I've been struggling with preload on my glee for a while, I wondered if anyone could shed any light on the problem.
Most of my riding is solo, I have only a 29" inside leg and so I've fitted the lower dogbones and dropped the front forks by the same amount. All was good.
The rear preload seems to have a range of 30 clicks, After lowering the bike I increased to the preload by 10 clicks, so, if you can imagine all the turns anti clockwise is 0 and all the turns clockwise is 30 it means I was on around 25 clicks. Riding solo it seemed fine however when with a pillion it just seems unstable at low speed. When I stop at a junction or if I'm pulling away slowly it feels wobbly at the front end.
Now I know this goes against convention but if I reduce the rear preload to around 10 clicks from the 0 position the bike feels fine when 2 up.
Any thoughts?
Steve
