Suspension settings rsv millie r 2001

black rsv · Jun 26, 2013

Hi can any body tell or advise me into setting the front suspension back to factory on my RSV Millie R 2001? only as of now when i ride the bike at slow traffic speed (40) the front end does what it wants not what i want it too...And when i turn into corners it feels ike im going way to far over in leaning into the corner.
I know you turn the damper clock wise to adjust but its not really helping out much, maybe a dealership job?
Any advise appreciated.

Not sure if its to do with settings thats making the front do what it wants, or maybe something loose.
But if its tipping in a bit too early try dropping the forks a bit - my RSVR had 4 rings showing when I bought it and it scared the hell outta me, now got 3 showing and it's loads better, got much more confidence in corners and roundabouts.
Hope this helps mate.

Thanks for the reply, i checked the rings and im on 5 rings one side, 4 the other, previous owner must have been barmy... Ive now reset front and rear to factory speck via owners manual, and its like a different ride, and i can now feel as if im riding the bike, not the bike riding me. Happy Day's..

He may have been barmy, or had one arm longer than the other!!!
Like I said, 3 works fine for me but I'm by no means any kind of expert.
