Metric Bike Renegade
So my question is that I bought this ST1300 and the suspension sucks. The front end darn near feels like a rigid bike on the front. It works becasue I can see the shock compress when I go over my curb but it really needs some help. It seems like changing springs and oil is the first place to start. Is this true? What would you recomend for springs and weight. I was looking at the hyperpro and it seems they get good reviews. Anything better? what weight oil? are the hyperpros a one firmness rating? As for the rear, it doesnt seem nearly as bad as the front but I had thoughts of replacing the shock, but then I saw that hyperpro offers a spring replacement. Any recomendations here? A hundred dollar springs seems better than 800 on a new shock. How hard is it to do all of this myself. How hard to pull the rear shock and spring. Will the spring do anythign for me? I weight 300lbs myself and I usually dont have anythign in the cases but I will do some overnight touring trips where I will be loading them. Any help please? My bike rides like a harley rigid...
