Can you give a rough definition of what constitutes 'loose' and 'smooth'? I assume you mean WOT is loose and smooth riding would be somewhat more restrained?
The SM450R Suspension setup Thread
Ok, Time for an "intel dump" from those of you who like to twist all the knobs on their Huskys.
I've ridden the bike with 100mm Sag, and the factory settings. Didnt like that setup too much.
60mm Sag, and 3 clicks compression on the front, 2 clicks compression (slow), and 3 clicks compression (fast) on the rear. This setup worked really well in the faster stuff, but felt pretty wooden at lower speeds.
Interested to hear what people are running on their bikes, (competition, and street too!), and whether you are riding the bike in a loose style or a smooth style.

sure, here goes:vrecksler said:Can you give a rough definition of what constitutes 'loose' and 'smooth'? I assume you mean WOT is loose and smooth riding would be somewhat more restrained?
Loose: large body movements, weight changes front to rear and side to side, handfuls of throttle, handfuls of brake, etc.
Smooth: A style that might remind you of a roadrace taking place in the rain. Smooth lines, smooth throttle, smooth brake. Sneaking up on the limits of traction, etc.
