New Storm owner

Post by Big Dad »

Picking up a 98 Storm on Sat (2/4/05) only been riding a couple of years just trading up from a 600 divvy (first bike). I am 6ft 2ins and 16 stone any hints on susp set up, I have read all the reports on the front forks and they felt quite firm on the test ride, but what about rear settings, any hints tips welcome, any owners in the area?

Hi Big D
:D Welcome on Board :D
You mght want to increase the compression dampening a little on the rear or maybe turn the spring up a notch.
Personally I'd recomend leaving it std at first until you get the feel of it and then start having a twiddle when you know what sort of adjustments/feel you are looking for.
Good luck with the new bike
