We upped our spring rate considerably. We're hoping this solves some body roll and bottoming issues.
A fresh load of good synthetic oil goes in.
We treated the tires with Formula V traction treatment, which significantly softened them.
We’ve been ticking off our list of tasks to complete before the Southeast Divisional Championships in Moultrie, Georgia, next weekend.
In the past few weeks we’ve swapped springs, upping our rates from 400R/350F to 550R/500F to combat some body roll and suspension bottoming. This meant totally redoing our ride heights and corner weights.
We drained the oil and replaced it with Red Line’s motorcycle-specific synthetic 10W-40. Our new oil level, baffle and breather setup appears to be working fine.
Our front tires were upped in size from 20x7x13 to 20x7.5x13 for a little more bite. We also applied some Formula V traction treatment. Interestingly enough, it dropped our durometer readings from the mid-60s to the high 50s. Hopefully that now-soft rubber will equate to more grip.
