Help me find a post

[The1970's]

I'm looking for a post that I started reading a while ago. There was some good information and I'd like to find it again, but after about an hour of searching I can't seem to find it. I believe it was titled "What makes new bikes feel so smoothe?" and the post was talking through the owner modifying his suspension one piece at a time to see what the cause was. I was hoping to read through it as I am looking to do my first modern suspension swap and just want to get some more information. Thanks

One of these might be what you're looking for: https://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...550E-adjusters

If the one you're looking for isn't one of these, I would look in the Suspension section. You might have to sort through a few pages in that section but something might ring a bell or you might find something more informative than you had seen before. Another area you might check is the Old Technical and the Popular Technical info forums.

Hope this helps.

Not exactly the posts I was looking for, but they do lead in the right direction. I've been back about 5 pages in every section and can't find it. I'm starting to wonder if I even saw it on this forum ...I know I saw it somewhere...I'm not old enough to be loosing my memory just yet

Yes it was on the GS Resources recently, I do recall it. I hope that helps :-)

That reminds me of a thread on ADV rider where a guy was taking parts off his KLR and weighing them then posting the results each time. He was replacing heavy parts with lightweight ones or just eliminating them altogether trying to shed as much weight as possible.

I don't recall the suspension mod posts you're looking for. Sounds interesting though.
