******************************************************************************** ***************************Team Benwell Setup Report*********************** ******************************************************************************** Setup Number: 001 Name: Ian Foxwell Chassis: NF502 chassis no. 1 Date: 20-04-02 Time: 17.20 Place: Weather: Document current setup ******************************************************************************** Modifications: Complete fron fork assembly lowered 4mm Rear swing arm in lowest possible position Batteries in highest position Rear seat body mount lowered 7mm Screw holding Front forks in must be tightish but not very tight One front wheel nut should be very tight. The other should be just touching, using thread lock to prevent it falling out. Ride height set with batteries completely level. Front forks at max rake position. Not my ali crash back mount has had approx 2mm filed off to increase this if required but is currently at standard position. Rider figure lowered so that head is only just clear of tank and arms go well down inside faring. Done to lower weight and reduce rider wobble. Rear shock has 7000wt oil, hole drilled in cap and stiffer rebound spring. Set so that it is not quite doing anything at normal ride height. Needs lots of mess around with shock empty and on bike to find when it starts to work. Top shock mount using an extra hole directly below the standard hole, just breaking into it. By setting the shock in this hole and with the swing arm in lowest position I will be able to run the swing arm in middle pos and keep shock settings the same by moving it to the top hole. Front forks with seal and small amount of 40wt oil. Steel fork legs though. May not work on yours. Receiver tray in upper holes to maintain rear wheel movement. My steering uses a servo arm with a self taper in it 17mm centre to centre out from mounting hole. Silicon tube then slide over projecting end of screw with 7mm of free tube between end of screw and steering link rod which is inserted via hole and located with collets as normal. The silicon is kept on screw using a tie wrap for security and the whole lot works really well. Rider trimmed to reduce weight as much as poss. Not easy but every little helps. Total all up weight currently 2040 grm...... Must be able to do better than that ******************************************************************************** Results: One shit hot bike
