triple r suspension

Been out for 50 mls this morning on the triple r and had to adjust the front back to 6 clicks out to keep my teeth in on our poor roads.
race is 2 clicks out. normal 4 and soft 6 clicks out. If your on bumpy roads try it 6 out you may prefer it.
The triumph street triple r is a fantastic little bike, the suns shining and i enjoyed the ride.

Suspension

Just a quick word on the front suspension settings of the bike.After 500 miles i think its softened up a bit so yesterday i put the settings back to medium as recommended in the manual.
I must admit even on the UK roads it seems fine.

TRIUMPH STREET TRIPLE R FRONT SUSPENSION

Finally i got to test the front end after adjusting it to the soft settings.
The bike still goes round corners like its on rails but is much better over the UK roads,so if in your country the road surface is like the UK( shite) then adjust to soft within days of buying this bike.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is good so the streets will be filled with the sound of bikes some pottering along others like a wasp on helium. My triple like a wasp without the helium im afraid at least till i get more milage on her. Enjoy your weekend and stay safe keep the shiny side up.

TRIPLE R FRONT SUSPENSION

Due to the poor condition of the British roads after a cold winter i had to soften up the front end a little. (i value my teeth too much)
For solo riding theres 3 settings, standard,softer and sport.
The bike is now set to soft with the rebound and compression damping 6 clicks out.
Ive yet to test the bike because its took all day to clean it after last nights trip out in the rain.
Did i mention the amount of dirt this bike sprays up mm mm yes i think i did.
