- Hey Guys Welcome back.
Today I'm showing you how to adjust your suspension the best and safest way possible to further enjoy your Nami scooter. Iv seen A couple videos where they just play with the rebound and its just simply not the case and there's more to it. I have hands on experience adjusting suspension on my old skyline my currant skyline as well as my Daily car and some others in the passed so it is far to say I know a thing or two about setting these up but with Scooters I do find that the front needs to be a little softer as it is a 2 wheeled vehicle. My Mic die at the end hahaha but thought id leave it in there for a bit of a laugh. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Hi. As a Brisbane local, I applaud your commitment to making content, however, as a Nami owner, I truly think you should revisit this video. There are not a lot of Nami suspension setup videos out there, so a lot of people are going to be looking to this as a valuable resource. Confusing compression and rebound damping could cause some serious accidents.
As I am sure you are aware by now, the Nami has no compression adjustment, with the exception of adding preload which causes less compression, but does not slow the compression as such, and reduces travel. Rebound damping only slows the rebound to max shock extension, making it less bouncy. Maxing the rebound damping will stop the "trampoline effect", but will leave the rider with less travel to work with as the shock will often not fully extend after recovering from a bump, and multiple bumps will cause the suspension to become "bogged down" as the rebound damping will slow the extension of the shock.
Do you recommend any sort of setup? Maybe even replacing the shocks with something that has 1500lbs spring (instead the 800 stock)?
The tool is called a c-spanner and it's used to turn the lock nut. They are often locked into position after adjusting with a grub screw of locking tab washer. Good video mate
Good video mate after watching this I just did some spring adjustments on the lighting v2 , made it feel way better in the front end
Being new to electric scooters, I used this video as reference to adjust my Nami Klima pre-travel. After watching and seeing your examples, I thought I needed to adjust mine as well. I'm 6'2", and figured I could use a couple more threads worth more compression to make up for my weight. I can conclusively tell you that the way you are advising others to set their suspension is mostly incorrect. It appears yours is set way to stiff, and probably the reason why you have the excessive front wheel wobble. I followed your examples and probably added another 4-5 threads worth of pre-travel to mimic yours, and found my scooter had issues turning in corners, and suspension was bouncy and dangerous when encountering rough/uneven roads. As I started decreasing the pre-travel I quickly noticed I didn't need excessive pre-travel adjustments (only total of 2 more threads worth of compression was needed), and also realized there is a happy medium between too much and too little pre-travel. Everyone do your own testing and determine what works best for you; but personally think what is being advised in this video is not correct, and most will find a detriment to their scooter experience.
Can't wait to see the wheel balancing video you're going to make.
I need to do it to my wife's scooter.
Loving your Nami videos. You inspired me to buy one over a month ago. I've set up preload and dampening and absolutely loving it. Really found that it has come alive as my confidence builds along with some minor adjustments. I've found it much more settled with regen set to 0. But now I've ended up with a squeaky front brake when pulling up to a stop. What's the best way to manage the brakes? Would love a video on cleaning and maintenance ect
Glad to hear your disks grind a bit when cornering. I fought with mine for hours until I found out a little jingle was normal when cornering.
One thing you got wrong, the damper only has a adjustable rebound option. What you have described is the compression and this isn't adjustable on this kind of damper. The other thing what we can change is as described the preload on the spring, The compression is a factory given.
Very good video my friend!!! 👌
PMT tyres are the best upgrade you can do. Changed my nami max from a shaking pile of poo to a smooth weapon
Loved that suspension cam
Not bad ayy hahhahaa
Need to get more camera gear
@@dcunplugged31 so do I. I’ve only got a gopro 4 and a gopro7
Great question asked.. some dealer mechanics are shy with suspension setups.. sending it out with factory settings asap either because it’s too much work to individualize the tune or they have not spent the time to understand it.. first ride at faster speeds.. wobbly as crap.. I’ve some home homework.. kinda stupid, no? U buy a Lamborghini.. the dealer says here a wrench adjust the suspension to your taste.. it’s great that u can .. but at this price point why should u?
Best video..
If you shorten the suspnsion it will be higher suspension for larger people, right? Or opposite? :D Makes sense in my head that if the suspension is longer, it wont be as tight = for less weight people, right? Then tigthen so it is firmer for larger people, right? Does it work like that? :D
I have the Emove Roadster, essentially came with the same tires. Get rid of them asap..go with PMT or another premium brand of tire.
If I was in Perth, do I need to readjust for Indian Ocean weight? Or is Pacific close enough?
Surprise-surprise! The Blast with single arm suspension is super steady vs the industry defacto-c-designed suspension.. the world-wide-Nami rider should demand immediate retrofit of this into all Namis. Asked Dealer of the Burn E3 coming out this fall 2024.. will this be a design fix? Nope.. any new Burn E3 will have to live with the steering dampener “band-aid”. Let’s spread the upgrade of the Blast onto the mothership Burn E3! Thank you. Burn E2 Owner..
Can you review blade gt? Looks real good for a 2300 scooter
Cool
From the video it seems like you added pre-load on the both suspensions about 5-6 turns -> don't do that, Michael Sha was specifying directly that noone should add more than 2 MAX 3 turns from default, otherwise the forces can strip the threads and you can injure yourself. You should be careful when you giving such technically not-verified advice that can hurt someone.
You can find this information on his facebook page, 06 july 2021. "preload adjustment tool will be inside the box of each unit
Starting very shortly
Do not over tight the spring, do not adjust more than 2 turns, the thread on the suspension might get damaged from heavy impact when the preload is too much"
I feel like you talked a lot without telling me anything. Which way should I turn the spring if I stand on the scooter and it sinks too much?
Cuantos ranuras tengo que dejar libre si peso 90 kilos y lo quiero bien blando? Pq me esta haciendo mucho ruido cuando paso una cuneta o canaleta. Gracias
Great clip mate I don't even own a nami but handy info to see whilst eating Dino nuggets at 11.09
Hahahhaha cheers man ... dino nuggets are the best ahahhaha
I have similar weight, how many suspension "clicks" right/left do you use for high speed asphalt on front/back wheel?
8 clicks then turn 1 back "7" on front and 9 clicks back 1 to "8" on the rear.
Spring preload is key 🔑 id suggest winding out the rebound to completely soft then playing with preloaded on the springs once you feel it feels nice to you. Then start adding your rebound
@@dcunplugged31the clicks are you referring to the spring adjustment using the c spanner?
🤟😍😍😍👍
what helmet you used
I thought the front wheel stabilizer is suppose to prevent wheel wobble?
It prevents speed wobbles as in left to right at hi speed this vibration seen it up and down this is not good as the tyre leaves the ground for a split second making the scooter understeer in corners making it very difficult to push harder
How do you get to the rear spring adjustment? The front is easy to access. Do I have to turn the scooter on its side?
It's a little awkward, but you can get the tool onto the rear spring coming from the front side of the scooter. You can get about a 1/3 a turn at a time but you have to turn it as far as you possibly can to get it in a position where you can get the tool to engage in spot where that 1/3 of a turn is possible. It'd probably be easier if you sat the scooter on a milk crate or something to get it off the ground but it's possible to do it with the scooter on the ground. Looking at it from the rear, you want to be turning it towards the left hand side of the scooter to add pre-load and obviously to the right to lessen the preload.
@@thepaedophileprofit3062 thanks for your response
Hi mate . Would like to know the location of that track thanks
Ipswich cycling track
When you say "up" are you talking about increasing the rebound to fast?
yeah
If the rear should be more stiff than the front, how come scooters like rion have no suspension at the front but a little bit at the back.
Also slowe scooters like zero 9 have it this way.
thinking exactly like you here... and plus, with looser on the back you will compress at hign speed cause of wind pressure and it will change the rake angle and help with stabilisation. On mine, I go with spring load Back looser than front and damping back stiffer than front. No wobble at high speed... never lost the front.
What tires are you using
Stock ones
Lots of mods coming soon
For that kind of money shouldn't be any speed wobble. That's crazy! Not to mention the suspension and tool is a poor design.
It's not so much speed wobbles it's not balanced wheels. That's why are 60kph or " that frequency" it wobbles/ jitters but then goes away at higher or lower speed. I've never had speed wobbles even at 93kph still stays straight its just at 60 the imbalanced wheels try to "hop" but that will be rectified in the next video.
The tool for the suspension is very common BC coilovers use them MCA use them very commonly used tool.
@@dcunplugged31 Good to know, why not use a better suspension system like they have on full suspension bikes?
