Application: Sports / Ride Day 90kg
Problem:     Excessive brake dive
Comments / observations:
 
     
 

"North Coast back roads are very bumpy. Bike suffers from lack of control and traction over bumps. I also need the bike lowered."

 

 
  We can lower the bike 25mm. Any more and the suspension action is compromised. For ride day applications, lowering needs to be considered extremely carefully. You WILL lose cornering clearance, the bike WON'T handle as good as it can. My recommendation - DON'T lower it for the racetrack.

The suspension on the Speed Triple equipment-wise is excellent - it responds very well to modifications and tuning. We would recommend for a sports/rideday application our 20SSK and spring and set-up to suit your requirements. You can also fit our 20SSK Compression and rebound mod kit or our 20SSRK Racekit which would be modified to include roadwork.

  • K-Tech Sports/Ride Day Performance Conversion
    20SSK Compression valve and standard rebound mod incl dive control and spring. You get all the benefits of the much better compression valve and we modify and revalve your rebound to suit the spring. More suited to the road but still gives you good feel on the race track.
  • K-Tech Road/Sports Kit
    20SSK Compression and rebound valves, service and set-up and spring. This will give you the best range for road and track use. So if you use the bike mostly on the road and do several ride days per year you can use your adjusters to firm it up for excellent Race Track performance
  • K-Tech Race Bike Conversion
    20SSRK Racebike service, set-up and spring
    To take advantage of modern compounded sports tyres or slicks, this kit has the latest Technology in valve design and shimstack configuration to give outstanding brake and turn-in control without harshness and provides excellent adjustability for any track/weather situation.
    Can be modified for Roadwork.
