Good video, very helpful. You have mentioned there are 7 adjustments, in which one is coming out of the dealer? 3rd or 4th from the softest?
Thank you

L' ho riguardato ora con i sottotitoli in italiano e nonostante io sapessi già come fare per modificare il precarico non sapevo che se superi di un "click" il massimo (Hard) ritorni al minimo (soft), quindi grazie!!! P.S. Confermo 7 posizioni al posteriore per Transalp 750 e 15 per la regolazione dell'anteriore. Ciao!!!

Bravo bel video, compreso anche da me che non parlo inglese 😂!!! 👍

[fchristl]

Thanks a lot for the video! How do I know which position it is in currently? Is there some kind of indicator?

[DominiqueJavet]

well done! Thx.
Can you do the same for the front?

[someguy]

Just to confirm, when looking down from the top of the bike, clockwise is more preload?

"towards the exhaust" could be either way depending on where you are standing.

The owners manual notices that going directly from 1 to 7 or 7 to 1 may damage the shock absorber.

I watched this 4 times, isnt it the other way around or is this a reverse thread? Regards

[mxdkfpsq]

User manual say turning towards the exhaust decrease spring preload.

Nie rozumiem angielskiego.

If I’m 170 and my passenger is 160 and I have bags what would you suggest I set it too?

[vspatmx]

In simple terms does it get soft plush towards the exhaust?
Or soft plush when away from the exhaust ?

Noob here .

Hi. Thanks for all the good videos. I recently purchased the same bike. All is good however I find it very noisy between 60 and 70 MPH. I have a feeling it could be the rear tyre? It is the Metzeler Karoo street like yours. The demo bike I went out on had Dunlops and there was no noise at all! I’m hoping the noise will go away once I scrub it in a bit?
