I did the same adjustment to mine, only my suspension was on the correct settings before I reset it to comfort. It is still fairly stiff but only really noticeable on very bumpy roads. This has to be one of the best handling bike I’ve ever owned.
A lesson for any new bike owner to check for factory default settings from new, this is not uncommon. You pay dearly for adjustable suspension, it would be a shame not to use it. Triumph is very good at giving suggested settings too, hardly any other manufacturer does this, well done to them and you for knowing what you want.
Thanks Terence. 👌🏍️
Every day is a school day, amazing that small adjustments can make such a difference
What a great video!❤ Thank you for the valuable information. Thanks to your awesome video I discovered the adjustment tools attached under the back cowling! I’ll be adjusting my suspension later! 😎👍
Brilliant, thank you… i pick mine up on Saturday!
Great video Dave, gave me an insight into the dark art! My bikes have always been older and less complicated so this seems complicated to me! 😂 It shows that they don't come with a balanced set up from the factory and I thought the dealer should have picked this up on the pdi but they didn't check it. It makes me wonder that when road testers complain about harsh suspension, they don't check it either and just slate the bike instead.
Keep'm coming Dave! the weather is starting to break over here and getting warm enough to get out and ride. I'm looking to get the dji 4 cam as i got the gopro 10 now with a lav mic. but seen your video on the DJI and it's banging brother!
I miss read the front spring preload being from fully closed position. I've just reset to what you did so I learned something from the video, Thanks!
Nice wee tutorial there, Dave. Thanks!
Cheers Ed. 👌
I'm picking up mine tomorrow, same colour. This was quite helpful.
Did you get a User Manual mate?
Well worth doing Dave...it can really improve the feel of the bike, and it's free!! Setting up the suspension , setting the sag etc made a real improvement on my T7. Great stuff, Cheers Steve
Impressed with the large hand book. Last summer I bought a new Rocket 3 GT and all I got was a link to a PDF file, which I loathe. Got the fancy folder but nothing in it. At least I got a proper hand book with my R1250 RT. Enjoy your new bike, it looks stunning
Same here, no manual and just got a stupid link 😒
Having the correct suspension settings can transform the way a bike handles. A good tip is to test the bike on the same short circuit with a variety of road types and surfaces, each time an adjustment is made. I fitted Ohlins to my motorcycle and was apprehensive about the setup, but found it really straightforward - making small adjustments each time. What is also helpful for setting spring compression, is the measurement of 'Sag', which is the difference between unloaded and loaded with rider's weight. On the Ohlins, I think that the Sag was specified as 25 mm.
Just gotten a 22 street triple 765rs, and does feel a but stiff. Especially for UK roads 😂 haven't played with the suspension settings yet, your video will definitely help! Thank you
Will be interesting to see what it's currently set up as 🤔 but going to give comfort a bash.
Absolutely loving the bike! Previously had a 06 z750s
Really helpful video thanks, we don't even get a physical copy of the manual in the UK which I think is outrageous spending £11500 plus extras, need to download it! I'm planning on adjusting once it warms up and drys out to test to the full.
You always have to keep in mind that most manufacturers assume a standard rider weight of 75kg (165 pound. Of course that doesn't suit everyone. When you set up your bike, you have to keep in mind its ready-to-ride weight and adjust accordingly.
I'm picking mine up this coming week so appreciate the video and obviously need to check the settings 👍
Good luck. Incredible 🏍️
Update, having just had the bikes first service I decided to check the suspension and tho not as far out as yours it was out. So following your video I've set it to the solo road settings as I'm slightly taller and heavier than you and thought this would be a good base setting.
I've never owned a bike with adjustable front forks so I'm quite glad of that tbh.
Simpler the better for me. Intresting though,, so many ways you can set it up!
That man cave is lush.
Good vid 🎉🎉
Good man Steve. 🙏🏍️
Glad to hear you're getting your backside under control. LOL. Saturday morning humor. 😁😁😁
Ref rear end it’s an age thing welcome to my world 😂😂great vid on setup though 👍
I am amazed at how much your bike was off the settings. I checked mine when I got it and it was set on road, bang on, front and rear. I like how it feels so am leaving it there.
Mine was a mix of comfort, road and sport. Felt a little bit weird.....
@@andreashofmeister1590 my friend had his set all over the place too. I was lucky I guess as mine was set in Road from the factory and it felt great so after I checked I put it back to how it was.
I run sports settings. Happy with it. 👍🏻
would u do vfr also, thanks
MORNING DAVE. Have you heard of helicopter tape.its a clear protective film and you should consider getting some for the ohlins piggy back on the rear shock.After a while, the anodised gold starts looking abit beat up of all the road stones that flick up.😢
Ooh that’s a good tip. I shall buy some on Amazon. Thanks for that. 🙏
@WheelieGoodTV Video soon then 😂🤣
I've put a sock on mine.
Thank you really top video I like you have the 2024 Triumph Street Triple RS but in red. I follow your video to the tee setting my suspension to comfort as well thank you again really great help.
Tell me have found that 16 clicks was still best or have add or subtracted from that position?👉👍
Many thanks. The 16 clicks for me is perfect and I haven’t adjusted since. 👌🏍️
Tank ring looks well, have you any plans to get usb point to front?
Yes I have that done. I made a vid when I first got the bike about fitting the mods and it’s covered in that. 👌🏍️
Looks like the dealer PDI was thorough, not uncommon, the brakes on my Ducati were binding within three miles of leaving dealership! They sorted but not good enough, but no further issues in 6000+ miles. Amazing how many people don’t check that a manual suspension is set up correctly, I’m like you I prefer a softer setting, luckily a Multistrada is ESA.
Way to go @Wheelie Good TV!!
I've also got a new 765 RS and would like to ask a couple of things:
1. Does the rear shock lose the settings after being ridden? Mine loses 2-3 clicks both TEN and COMP
2. Your rear shock really clics? No springy noise and bland strange sensation when turning?
Thx!!!
Hi. Yes it actually clicks when turning and certainly no springy noises. I’ve just checked the ten and com settings and they’re exactly the same from when I set it two months ago. Hope that helps. 👌
Thank you again! =)
Dave, I see you've not changed your tyres yet. I've had 2 previous streets. I've tried Dunlop Q2, Pirelli Diablos, but the tyre I'd highly recommend is Metz M7RR they are fantastic for both fast sport riding and really wet days.
Loving your reviews of the latest Street, pick mine up this Thursday 😁😁😁
I'll be changing my tyres at first service, but I'm going to try Metz new M9RR the new and supposedly better M7RR upgrade.
Thanks Kevan. I filmed this a few months ago so have changed to Michelin Road 6. They are incredible on this bike. Solid grip even in Irish rain, and no noise. The bike is now perfect in my opinion. 🙏
Try Continental Road Attack 4 awesone Tyre. These do not have to be retracted.
i can also vouch for metz. Really good tires that seem to be underrated.
Interesting vid. I've heard the stock setup on the R was more suited to road riding but the RS was set stiffer for faster cornering so nice to know you can soffen up the RS suspension.
Must admit to normally not having the confidence to adjust the suspension myself.
As far as I can tell from the video, you didn't adjust the rear preload. I found that to be the most critical setting to change before I headed off with fully loaded panniers for a tour of Ireland.
How is it supposed to be adjusted ?
@@Fittednocap for most bikes, you need a C spanner.
@DavidNewmanDr Rear preload is not specified in the manual. I don't think they want you adjusting it! But I agree with you,it should be done.
Hey chap did you buy your manual? because I wasn't given one on my purchase. Oh and like your channel.
No, I was given it in a Triumph folder with a few other bits in like a service book etc.
Hi Dave re rear suspension settings for a numpty, when you said you tightened your rear!! , did you tighten both rebound and compression by 4 clicks in or just the lower rebound.
Thanks mate sorry to be a pain but I have never had adjustable suspension on any bike, have adjusted mine to full comfort as per manual .
Jeez I can’t even remember now. Sorry 🤯
@@WheelieGoodTV No worries mate.
So the suspension tutorial is once you find the tool kit copy the suggested Triumph manual settings to your bike and go out for a ride, if you're not happy fiddle about (known as fine tuning) then go out for another ride repeat until you are happy ...... sorted 😎😎😎
Exactly. Works a treat!
i still couldn't find my missing tool. It's been over 6 months now still no where found. I don't really want to buy a new one due to it's considered special order for some reasons.
Good video! I noticed that my front suspension adjusters were all horizontal when fully clockwise except for the right Compression which stops vertically (12 o clock). So when theyre all set-up, all 3 adjusters would be horizontal except for that one. Has anyone encounter this? Thanks!
Interesting observation. Can’t say I’ve noticed mine but maybe some of the viewers can comment on this.
Just as I myself was dropping a loose brick. 😂
Sometimes I can’t control front end🫤Nice bike.
So this stuff really comes down to how much you weight right ?
Totally.
My settings were not as they should be either. Why tell you how it's set from the factory, then send them out without setting? A QA issue that needs addressing at Triumph!
I also bought in uk no printed manual in the fancy folder on a £13000 bike inc extras this is scandalous, Everybody likes to look at a printed version not a .
downloaded pdf , How come Ireland supplies this Dave.
Excellent video , I am exactly the same size and weight as you please let us know of your final adjustments, as they will be much appreciated.
Cheers, I just kept the settings per vid in the end as it is perfect for me.
@@WheelieGoodTVHi Dave thanks for the info did you bother setting sag on rear spring and front forks.
@@calibra1759 no, the only adjustments I made were preload and rebound.
@@WheelieGoodTVGreat thanks for the reply out tomorrow to see the difference will let you know cheers Steve.
Dave a promised , set all to manual comfort so far will try our rebound setting later i.e 4 clicks in see if it makes difference thanks for the reply. You have also inspired to have second bike vfr I think pre vtech.
can not believe chain is rusty and motorcycle so dirty i like mine stiff because too soft not good for the bends
Just want to reach through my screen and peel those safetly stickers off your bike. 😂
🤣 They’re staying on mate. It keeps the bike looking new. 👌
@@WheelieGoodTV worse looks for the ideology of "looking new". My brain can't compute that. Whatever rocks your boat I guess. Enjoy your bike! 🤜💥🤛
@@mindcave it’s all subjective. I love them. So there!🤗
@@WheelieGoodTV yes true. Enjoy.
Just went and checked mine and they were all bob on the road spec, sounds like you've found a lazy dealer!
