Heavy Steering?

[samklr650]

No I didn't read anything about relocating the brake caliper and I didn't. I've put over 200 miles on the bike and haven't noticed any problems with braking. I'm going over the bike tonight before I head out for Branson Mo. tomorrow night so I'll look at it.

Yea I dont know what it does Sam. I just read something about a link for the caliper.

The caliper relocation is only necessary when lowering a bike, not raising it as the leveling links do.

My two cents is E3 and the narrower tire wer a great improvement. I will be trying 40 psi also. Remember to run a rear tire on front with the arrow in the opposite direction.

I don't understand. Please explain both outing the wider rear tire on the front- as that is opposite what everyone is doing for steering - and why put the tire on backward? Or are you joking? I am too naive to know. Thanks.

Theory of running the rear on the front from what I have read is. You run the arrow in the opposite direction because the way the belts are laid up when you corner then it loads the belts as if on the rear, also stopping. They are wound to "push" for rear tire and on the front you have to turn the tire around to get same results. At least thats how I have read it.

If the above was correct then wouldn't the designers of the tire have done that?

 

I'll stick to the normal way but thanks for sharing.
