Regarding the suspension harshness, to me, the T7 has too much rebound damping in the rear shock (it extends from a compressed state too slowly) from the factory for dirt use. I think it needs faster rebound so the suspension doesn't "pack", that is hit the first bump and not have time to adequately extend before hitting the 2nd bump, and so on. From factory standard setting, I turned the shock rebound screw out 5 clicks and like it a lot. This is in cool weather, 35 - 55F. In hot weather it may not need to be turned out quite that much. I weigh about 190 pounds fully suited, and ride mostly logging roads with lots of potholes and washboards.
Hi I have to start playing with the clicks to try to adjust the suspension, was afraid to touch them but now I see that it can really help me . Thanks for your comment I will try it :-)
Hi , I am glad you liked the video :-) Regarding the grip pads I got them on ebay , something cheap not a brand . Its important to do the following things when you install them : 1. Before installing clean the area with alcohol and let it dry 2. Heat the glue behind the pad with a lighter (try not to touch them with your finger) 3. When you install them try to do it only once without taking it out and install it back again 4. Keep pressure on the pad for a min
@@Itzik_Arazithanks a bunch for your reply back and the tips. Using a heat gun to warm up the pad and the surface you are applying to really helps. Ride safe, rubber side down. 😀
Hi I have two types of bags : Rigg gear adventure bag - its on the back all the time with my drone or spare tubes Enduristan Blizzard L side bags - they are great on the bike and holding perfectly with the givi rear rack
