Hi Guys. I recently bought a '00 speed triple on impulse! It was a warm day and got the urge to buy a bike. I have a KTM 525 supermoto also but the gearbox is damaged and I've not done anything with it for a couple of years.
The triple is great and it superb condition with only 5k on the clock it is almost a new bike to me.
The handling will take some getting used after riding light bikes. I need to adjust my style. I've found for central london use the suspension is a little too firm. I'm trying to dial in the 'softer' settings as specified in the manual. I'm a little confused as the manual measures it in turns and I'm used to clicks. The front spring pre-load for example needs to be 6.00 turns. Does a turn mean a 360 degree rotation or a 180?
I assume 180 but I can only seem to dial in about 5.50 as the adjuster does not go that far.
I'm also considering a race can. I'm not interested in more volume but I find the FI system a little snatchy below 4k. As I'm often in this range in traffic I'd like to get it remapped better. Does a different can help with this?
Many thanks. Hope to post more soon.
Neil
