I know this is an old video but can you share any tips for setting the sag on this bike? I can’t seem to get mine dialed in at 185lbs, it’s pretty unruly in the corners wallowing about and head shaky at speed. Anything would help cheers buddy!

Do you have the correct spring rate to match your rider weight? How are you measuring sag? What sag number are you reaching for and what is your static sag?
@stevewill35723 ай бұрын
@@ridendrive I used the bmw manual directions to do it which is suggested at 20mm rear and about 10mm front with key on in road mode. With that the rear has no static sag, doesn’t move under its own weight. And I can’t imagine they didn’t make springs for a 185 lb rider kitted up that’s right in the middle of their range of humans.

Why the cones?
@ridendrive Жыл бұрын
Cones were used to push riders away from the sound tower which checks the sound levels of each bike passing by as each track day has sound level requirements that must be met. The cones is frankly not the best idea and of course impedes on your lap times, but that is just what some of the organizations do unfortunately.

I just stumbled across your review. UK rider here with a 2021 Yamaha tracer 900 it's as known here. I upgraded from a Kawasaki Vulcan S 650 (great bike by the way) to my Tracer. What a bike it is though, I agree wth everything you said. I absolutely love this bike and that engine is just superb, torque everywhere and a fast revving nature that is perfect for everyday riding. I was looking for that do it all bike and I think I have at last found it. Very comfortable, good riding position and real world power and acceleration that you can actually use makes for a perfect package. There isn't a perfect bike in my opinion but this comes close for me. I agree on the suspension, yeah that could be better but after all this is a budget sports tourer that hits the spot in so many ways . Superb review, informative factual and real world.
