springs

[LT_Jan]

Hey everybody,

I'm Jan from Belgium.
I'm new here, just bought a 10 years old 55000 km LT, silver.
Very happy with it.
One small question. On some roughness on the road, the LT is very hard in the springs, its like riding on very rough road although it's only some pits in the road.
I'm driving the Battlax tyres.
Are my springs used or is it something else.
You can easily answer in German, but it's quite difficult to write German for me.

Thanks in advance,
Jan

Hallo Jan,
There is a spring adjustment screw under the seat. It is normaly used for single or co driver adjustment.

Hi Jan,

you should see how the suspension works. You can tigten or loosen the black round knob to change the suspension.

Hey, thx for the reactions, but it's not that.
The spring adjustement is ok.
It's only front and rear spring who are very hard.
I wonder if your bikes ride smoother or if this is normal to the LT.
Could be springs, could be tyres.

Thx
Jan

It's like the front suspension AND rear suspension are too hard. I feel every little bump in the road. My tyre pressure is ok.
Maybe I have to put some Ohlins underneath the bike ?
Maybe somebody here with some experience.
Unless this, fantastic and very lean bike. Maybe some chiptuning necessary for some more horsepower.
Cheers.

HI
Could it be that does not work your rear suspension.
Then you had a loss of oil on the shock absorber.
But is only just to see if the covering is removed

HI
Könnte es sein das deine Hinterradfederung nicht arbeitet.
Dann hättest du ein Öl verlust am Stoßdämpfer.
Ist aber nur genau zu sehen, wenn die Verkleidung abgebaut ist

Ich denke mal das du Niederländisch spichst wenn du deutsch lesen kannst

HI
Zou het kunnen dat niet aan je achterwielophanging werken.
Dan had je een verlies van olie op de schokdemper.
Maar het is nog maar net om te kijken of de voering wordt verwijderd
