I hate to be that guy, but where did you get the information? Is it in the owner’s manual?
Definitely not.Hey, 890 owners, I have a few questions:
1. Does the 890 have preload adjusters in the fork?
Because preload adjusters do almost nothing.Surprising that preload is only spring and non adjustable. I don't know why they take short cuts like this.
Totally agree. 😎The only correct fix is installing the correct springs, in which case no preload adjuster is needed.
Absolutely, but if you take a passenger of carry gear preload is handy, and even with the correct springs, you still need to fine tune the preload to the sag settings you like, and to match the front to the rear.I'd rather have springs correct for my weight than preload adjusters. I'm heavy, and more preload will not fix having springs of too low rate. The only correct fix is installing the correct springs, in which case no preload adjuster is needed.
Right. Any of you that are MotoGP riders should install preload adjusters.I dont think theyll stop including preload adjustment on Moto gp bikes any time soon
I don't carry passengers, ever, and my 890 will be set up without a pillion seat or pegs. Any tuning I need to do can be done with internal spacers. That's what I always do.Absolutely, but if you take a passenger of carry gear preload is handy, and even with the correct springs, you still need to fine tune the preload to the sag settings you like, and to match the front to the rear.
And if you get the Apex pro you'll have gasp 'Moto gp technology', just like my ghetto cbr900 didRight. Any of you that are MotoGP riders should install preload adjusters.
