India is too huge to ride. I was greatly humbled at how big India is just by travelling around South India afew days. There are so many things to see that you cannot expect to cover in just afew days. Met some Europeans who actually bought their Royal Enfields to ride across the whole country. I reckon that will be a great road trip! Leave the Strom at home........my advice.

No lah, we saw u pillion gf with tennis racket in your office wear, one morning...we were the oversize couple on a little scrambler.:angel:

i am feeling my rear shock is too soft. when i sit, it compresses . when my gf (40kg) sits, it sinks further down. now i m at number "3" of the suspension.

 

and when i go fast, around 110km/h, it feels unstable. the fastest i go wif the bike is only 130km/h and palm got power cut liao.

 

also, i have seen some brown smears on the preload lines, has my 1month-plus rear shock bottomed out alraedy?

[Tut Tut]

what do u feel unstable about at 110km/h? wobbly feel? did u check your tire pressure?

cold tyre pressure F: 225kpa R: 270~280kpa (though solo riding most of the time) as per recommended.

 

On my first day, the whole day i was riding on underinflated tyres. IIRC, F:150kpa R: 200ish kpa. Maybe it could be the shock was still very new.

 

The feeling at 110km/h is like buay zai. Mind started to wonder will i lose control if i push further.

 

how come urs at standard setting can go 200km/h

[Guest Bite1968]

i got fork brace . wheel balanced, over presurred at 5 psi more than maximum setting

 

front fork set to 4 mark , rear suspension set to 4 mark aswell turn the harness setting from 's' to 'h' (ref to manual)

 

able to hit 210 with full load and pillion but stable only at 180 ,190 -mc

[anodise57]

My rear set to Max.... Rebound set to 3/4....

Both spring Changed....

Tire pressure always pump 250 280..

no choice I FAT

Also got fork brace and bigger windshield....
