    Givi Skid Plate install issue

    Not sure if you found a solution but the Hepco and Becket skid pan have the same issue. The issues is on the 2014 and up models they have different headers. For some reason the manufacturers are saying these fit newer models when in fact they do not without my mod. I just completed this mode...

    Hepco & Becker Skid Plate Install Problem?

    All right I worked out a fix and no need to return my expensive skid pan all is working fine now no interference. So, for any of you looking to add the Hepco & Becker skid pan to 2014 and up models you will need to relieve a section of the cross tube for the through bolt. I used a Dremel with a...

    Hepco & Becker Skid Plate Install Problem?

    Here is the issue it rubs but I am going to relieve a bit of the bracket tube by sanding it through. This should give me a hair thickness of clearance and not affect much of anything. Will post the results tomorrow.

    Hey folks I am trying to install a Hepco & Becker skid plate on my 2017 SuperT and hit a wall. The cross brace on the front is obstructed by the headers.

    2017 ES Suspension Settings?

    What you are suggesting is not backed up by any Yamaha literature not saying you're wrong but it can't be confirmed. As for on road vs off road dampening settings there are general rules for what should be usimg in either setting not completely preference.

    2017 ES Suspension Settings?

    You missed my question entirely I already stated I did not need any advice on preload and sag. There are definitely recommended dampening settings for on road vs off road which is what my question was. My weight is irrelevant as dampening has nothing to do with weight. If anyone has any...

I am not looking for how to set sag that is well documented but general rule appears to be max out preload as the bike is very soft stock. As for the settings soft standard and hard +/- where should I be for on road then...
