I was talking to my wife who bought my 6r for me, I enjoy it, but it is really rough to force anything more from it. I had it loaded down with all bags and my son for a trip last weekend. It was at it's end, I ran with my dad and a friend of ours down to Shawnee state park, and we ran the river road back up. Problem is it doesn't seem to have the ability to do much more, it is just too limited in the suspension for 80lbs. of son, and 80lbs. of gear.
On the plus side I never said a word and waas just going continue riding it until I killed it or it killed me lol.... wife gifts, no returns... But she noticed it on the way out and the way in that the bike had it's ars dam near on the bump stop. So I came here to Ok. and she went out and called every one she could, to get a solution. Her solution???? Go get a triumph tiger 1050, she has a nice deal cut with a local shop I will pay 3k and my bike for it out the door..not bad...... I guess I should go test ride it first lmao!!!
I like this bike and have my Aprilia for later but I don't know about the tiger 1050. I will put up some pic.s of it.
So, I was thinking, do I want to get rid of this one or try to resolve the weak suspension in the rear, bare in mind that just changing the shock won't cut it. But too high of spring rate will suck if it doesn't have all bags and load.
