Slaying The Dragon With an Old Friend

<< < (2/3) > >>

TK:
Nice video and read. Thanks for sharing!

Brick:
Wow, that was excellent!
However I think that if I were scraping that much I would work on my suspension before I got tossed in the weeds. At least crank on some more preload. Just my $.02 worth. YMMV
You should do more video... you are good!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.


My buddy hasn't had that strom very long and he is still getting it sorted to his liking. He has mentioned a stiffer spring and I have a feeling he will be removing the center stand. That's what keeps touching down.

OldButNotDead:
Adam,
 Although I have ridden with more Wee Strom riders than its big brother, I had always thought under normal conditions it had LOTS of clearance.  I had an 06 FJR, which I think you are very familiar with, which I would occasionally scrape pegs on.  A lot more than I thought it should.  I weigh 240lbs nekked, and would always put way more than I needed in my bags.  I spent about $280 on a set up HyperPro springs, front and rear.  Best bang for the money I ever spent.  Spring compression in twisties was drastically reduced and scraping just about eliminated.  I would highly recommend that your friend look into a set.
