Never thought about this technique to measure sag...legend... We should meet up to do some green lanes mate... My new bike just landed few days ago 😄.. Ktm 1090 adventure r. Don't have insta anymore so will need to sort out communication somehow... 😅
Congrats on the 1090 Adventure R, I always liked the look of them, proper weapon. It would be great to meet up and hit some lanes. Email me your number: tankslapmoto@gmail.com
Im 178cm, i dont have a solid foot on the ground (mostly the tip of the foot when both on the ground), would reducing the pre-load on all springs fix this problem ?
Hi, yes, it should help to a point. I can't recall how much preload is on the shock as standard (from the factory), probably not a huge amount, but it might just be enough to make you comfortable. Reducing Preload will increase the sag, which should make it easier for you to flat foot👍 although, people will say that you shouldn't use Preload to adjust ride height.
@tankslapmoto9999 OK thanks for the help ! I can adjust the preload and if that negatively affects the overall behavior of the bike then I'll figure out a more expensive way of helping myself 😅 although im also thinking about modifying forks' height. This could be "clutch"...
I think it helps if you are tall and if you want it to feel a bit more like a proper dirt bike. I like the flatter profile, but this might not be a thing for most people. You do get a bit more padding, but I wouldn't spend the money if you are just after an improvement in comfort 👍
So simple, love it mate

Is the Rally seat much better than original??
