I just tuned my suspension according to the manual and my weight. The back end seems to cut loose bit here and there when turning right. It seems to turn sharper both ways to. Does this make sense or am I paying TO MUCH attention to it now and it's my imagination. | ||

No, but it may take some getting used to. If you do a search, you can find more info on adjusting the shocks more to your liking. | ||

In the manual it even states what too do for each effect. Maybe read threw that area of the manual and see if a description fits what your feeling and adjust based on what it says. there is more info than just where too set it for your weight is all I am saying. | ||

Don't go by the manual settings as the perfect setup. Each rider uses different amount of throttle at lean, different braking techniques, etc. You'll have to get it set up for your personal riding style. The XBs are finicky on setup, so you may get big improvements if you get the setup dialed better for yourself. I had a suspension specialist turn a few screws for me at a track day, and the bike was 100% better. I haven't touched it since. | ||

just ride it for awhile before you make any more changes. if you have a favorite piece of road that you know well, go for a ride there and get used too it. it can be hard to tell the differences straight away, but at least in my case you find after a good amount of riding that perhaps the bike is behaving differently than before - for better or worse. and if you do make more changes, only make one at a time so you don't confuse yourself. i found the book settings to be good, but have slowly been firming everything up a little. |
