Thread: Adjusting your handling

  1. #1
    As you may or may not know, you can tune your suspension yourself according to your weight,riding style,as well as with a passenger. I found some charts at... steveturnbull.co.buell there are some other interesting facts as well.

    The info to adjust the suspension is right in the owners manual for the bike. It tells you exactly how to adjust it. I will do it to mine when I buy a manual.

    Hi all...firsy time on...I found a way to lower the frame on the suspension on a XB12 without compromising the muffler/ground clearance. I built a low profile aluminum muffler (slightly louder than stock but much lighter) and changed the handle bar configuration so I can slide the forks up through the triple clamps about a inch or so and made a custom link to lower the rear shock. It handles better on the dirt, power slides any time, still a little scary though so I'm still experimenting to get it dialed in.

    Yeah i saw the ones in the manual. I was just wondering if there were more specific setting options elsewhere.

    Oldbutfast, I can't believe no one else has said anything about your post. That's nuts, man! Will you post some pictures of your rear link and handle bar configuration? What Buell did you do this to?
