Hi, I have a 17 FC350 which I'm losing the front end on cornering. It seems to want to tuck and I can't steer it in slippy conditions. I've got everything set to manufacturers standard in terms of clickers and air pressure. I'm basically just starting out with the bike. My forks are set to the lowest line in the triple clamps. My race sag on the rear is at 100mm but being 17st/238 pounds I've had a 54nm rear spring fitted.
Am I better off adding more air pressure and less compression? Raising the fork legs a little? The forks do not feel soft enough in the standard setting when I compare them to my Showa spring forks on my RMZ.
I may think about a revalve in the new year but for the price it will have to wait until after Christmas it is not an option now. Having said that I have never ever had a bike revalved but I've always managed to get the suspension working brilliantly for myself.
I'm not losing any traction at the rear wheel with the stiffer spring either.
Thanks for any help.
