Howdy.
I've been scouring the forums here for peoples opinions on suspension setup on the stock SE bike. It looks as though taking out the air box is mandatory. Is it a major undertaking or just the 4 bolts and the hose clamp? Next, the owners manual is obviously useless when it comes to getting a feel for what you should set your preload at and where to measure from. I've read through the Elka manual as well as the Ohlins one. I'm a pretty big lad at 6'4" and 230 and add another 20lbs for gear. The rear is set to midway, I'll have to crank that up quite a bit. So just looking for some tips on suspension setup as far as sag goes and ride height and where you are measuring from.
Gas type.
Haven't really seen this one talked about here. The manual says regular unleaded, no reference to Premium. However, the rating shows 91, that is premium for most. In Canada we have Sunoco Gold which is 94 Octane. In some of my other bikes and sleds, running them on 94 isn't all it's cracked up to be. What do you guys run and what has worked best?
thanks for your input.
