I'm going to collect these today - I'll get the measurments for you no worries.

I'm waiting with baited breath regarding the 'project'.


They do make a huge difference on the TTR (got 'em in there already), but yes I'll let you know what a difference it makes.

One of the main drivers for the upgrades is the plans over the next 18 months (Portugal & Africa), these springs are a lower cost improvment (low cost than WP forks & Ohlins etc rear), that I wanted to try out. In a similar way to what JMo did, but on a much more modest budget and with a different focus - overland travel rather than a dessert raid! (Jelly, Trifle or ice cream - you choose)

Given the feedback from the front of the bike, I get the impression that the front will be less likely to wash out in the mud.

There are a couple of points to make, that maybe someobne could try out to see if this is the srpings, or just the whole change in setup.

• The Tenere uses a 5 weight oil in the front, Hyperpro supply a 15.
• The pre-load is turned right back, so the adjusters are level with the top of the forks.
• The forks are lifted through the yoke by 10mm

The bike doesn't feel any lower at the front, and I can only assume there is less static sag, there is certainly less dynamic sag thats for sure (I need to adjust my headlight level too!), so this is probably the reason for the hight adjustment.

You do get an instruction book that tells you how to setup your suspension for a long list of 'faults' with the handling - I'll see if I can scan this in (when it dries) and post it as it will help others to adjust thier setups to compensate for any little issues.

For refference, my rear pre-load is one click tighter than default.
