[@ArcanePath360]

Nice tips. I'm looking to upgrade my mono shock from stock pogo stick. It's confusing the amount of adjustments there are to look for, and they all use vague marketing. So far I've encountered that you can get adjustments for: 1. Length (rider height) 2. Preload (some offer hydraulic preload) 3. Compression (rate) 4. Rebound (rate) And it doesn't end there, as some offer internal Nitrogen gas, and some external in a separate piggyback chamber, but they don't mention which is better or why. It would also be nice if they offered each model with a spring in a colour match for your bike. Some offer variations, but most are just one colour, usually yellow.

[@ishaqiqbal7595]

I have an Activa. Why am I still watching this?

[@powerdriftofficial]

Haha because love for automobiles :')

[@falkondezigns5397]

PowerDrift True that & i have a discover :D

[@tusharkantiroy7851]

I don't have any bike at all, still I'm watching this :D

[@belgaonkar]

good that you guys are making hardcore stuff which must be know by all big capacity bike owners !

[@powerdriftofficial]

There will be more coming your way! So stay tuned.

[@Shubhamsupal]

You guys are the best and you guys explain these complicated thing so well I appreciate Stay blessed always

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thank you and remember to stay tuned for more motoring content.

[@aashishm5929]

The introduction of electronic suspensions in superbikes takes things to a whole new level. Soon setting up a suspension will be a 90s kid thing. What say?

[@leohanna954]

One of the most informational videos i found thank you

[@harikrishnanh6553]

Please make a video for beginners I mean like cornering tips, things to notice under harsh braking etc..

[@AdithyaDas430]

Teaching us how to actually use our machines. Thanks PowerDrift!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Hahaha, so that you can ride better and safer.

[@tusharnandgaokar]

thanks pd for good technical information..

[@powerdriftofficial]

Make sure you share the video with your friends.

[@surajmoningi]

These are must to know for biker. Thanks PD 👍 nice work

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad you liked it. Make sure you share the video ahead.

[@surajmoningi]

Sure..

[@yamraaj1991]

Appreciate a lot... Now finally I can make things right on my ER6N.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks a lot comrade, make sure you share the video too.

[@RidingDevil]

Big thumbs up 👍 guys #Powerdrift #ROCKS and I request all to smash that notify bell 🔔 Cause its such a great info

[@powerdriftofficial]

Hahaha, thanks comrade. Make sure you share the video with your buddies.

[@nimishk638]

how about making a marking where the stock adjustment are set on the shocks?

[@Shuvojit69]

U should have been my mechanical professor at my college 😛u make hard things look like a piece of butter to learn

[@powerdriftofficial]

Hahaha, so you want Sagar to change his profession eh?? Hmmm!

[@varunjaangda3048]

only channel in India which provides international level stuff

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks Varun :) Don't forget to tell your friends about our channel and get them to subscribe too maybe? :P

[@NishanthNow]

Perfect timing. Just when I wanted to mess around with my Versys650 suspensions :D Thanks for the video and making it simple! Let me get my flat screwdriver! :D

[@powerdriftofficial]

Glad we could help.

[@NishanthNow]

Not really. I'm just over 5ft 8 In

[@NishanthNow]

be ready for some change in the way you feel about the bike. Versys definitely doesnt handle like R3 in the corners, but Versys is perfect for touring!

[@NishanthNow]

Of course :)

[@amyowish4355]

[@powerdriftofficial]

Now you can go ahead and share the video! :)

[@chrislatras]

I am 72-75kg with or without gear so im in the weight most motorcycle manufaturers tested. what preload, rebound and compression would you suggest since I have no one to help me record the sag or lift/balance the bike. I think the stock settings are a bit stiff IMHO on my z1000 2016 model. thanks

[@akshaywaghmare3218]

We're here!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Nice to see you guys!

[@AjayRaj-lw4ou]

[@Vishnu4507]

damn. sagar sir have you ever considered becoming a professor.. i mean i don't understand anything in my college but this I could follow everything you said.. nice video man..

[@Terlion]

Can you damage somehow the internals of the fork cartridge by screwing the rebound/compression adjusters too much?

[@rishedacool]

what will be setting with a pillion

[@vallabhnimbalkar6362]

it is back

[@powerdriftofficial]

With a bang! And with more to follow. So stay tuned.

[@14vimalk]

Sagar, technical question - Compression and rebound would need to vary by speed for better performance, right?

[@powerdriftofficial]

We are glad there are Automotive Nerds around! Makes for a good conversation :D - The Answer is both yes and no. Compression and Rebound would need to vary by Speed, Surface et all. Hence the World of Adaptive Suspension exists. However these systems when it comes to Motorcycles are a bit futuristic (for now) Ducati's Sky-Hook, BMW's DDC etc are interesting evolution in this context

[@14vimalk]

Wow, I was thinking exactly this "the system constantly strives to keep the chassis stable in relation to an imaginary datum point in the air above the bike" I can relate to riding on the roads around Alibag a few days ago. There were innumerable potholes and my strategy was to go fast enough to not let it rebound much :D And when there were gravelly off road patches, I was going "Grip the ground dammit! Stick to it like @#$%"

[@BULLETDIARIES]

Sir... Diy too.. Leave some topics to new KZbinrs too.. Lol.. Nice video by the way.. Cheers

[@nikhilsirohi9]

wow another amazing video by u! #u guys r amazing!!

[@powerdriftofficial]

Thanks buddy. There are lots of videos coming your way.

[@THB-Trades]

Royal Enfield with abs and rear disc brake?

[@solmongrundy]

Mine facing raised edge in the rear tyre ,how do i prevent this from happening ?

[@adityadev9692]

for all bikes that have adjustable suspension. its like this???

[@catalystreactionsbw]

Yes, the principles are all the same, but the adjusters might be in different places. They are just taps to manage oil flow, close them to slow the oil and thus the movement, open them to increase movement and flow. On the forks, as he said, traditionally the compression adjuster is at the base of both forks near the brake calipers, and rebound is in both fork caps. They must be set the same number of turns or clicks out (some adjusters have click settings) from closed (righty tighty, lefty loosey). Traditionally on shocks it is the reverse, compression is at the top of the shock and rebound at the base. His Z1000 only has rebound at the base. Another common fork configuration is to have rebound in the right fork cap and compression in the left cap (like the Ohlins Road & Track forks found on many bike brands as stock, but upgraded equipment). When labeled, compression is always labeled "com" or "comp", but rebound can be labeled either "reb" or "ten" for "tension". On some shocks, aftermarket or upgraded stock equipment from the base model (typically Ohlins), both adjusters are on the top of the shock. The standard color coding is black for rebound and gold for compression. Some shocks and forks have both low speed and high speed compression, usually the former is a flat blade screw in the center of the latter, a hex nut. Some shocks have a knurled ring at the base of the shock, around the shock shaft, which you turn to adjust rebound. Again righty tighty as you look up at the shock from the ground, and they always click. You always count your clicks or turns out from fully closed, for example, you might set your rebound 2 clicks out, or your compression 2 and 1/4 turns out. Finally, never close an adjuster completely and then ride (or do test bounces), always back out at least 1 click or 1/8 of a turn. If you ever require such settings to make the suspension work properly, the first trouble shooting step is a shock/fork service (new oil).

Amazing and informative video! Btw, Have you checked out the MV Agusta Brutale 800? Which is due next month hopefully, I got permit from the company and went to the office along with a guy from MV showroom in Pune. The bike makes other supernakeds look like a bunch of gimmicks

[@powerdriftofficial]

Yes we did and its mighty exciting alright! Hopefully we will have it on our Game Of Performance series soon ;)

[@HemantSomnathe]

I'm waiting for the cinematic review! Any news on the pricing? If it crosses 14 OTR, I'm dead

[@vijay321gadi]

Is that your z1000? cause I've seen it in a lot of previous vid3os of yours as well... It's psyche!

[@powerdriftofficial]

It's not Sagar's, although he'd like one. :P

[@vijay321gadi]

PowerDrift xD

[@vijay321gadi]

But I'm guessing it's someone's PD itself, maybe.

[@tarunjounkani5829]

[@powerdriftofficial]

Tentatively it is scheduled to come to India in the month of April :)

[@pradyutjdeori7170]

[@powerdriftofficial]

It's been a long time since we reviewed a Hyosung bike. Here's our take on the last bike that laid our hands on - kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqmTh52Dh61gZ5I

[@fnxgaming7979]

🔥💯🔛 Thanks ll do soon in my z800

[@ashwinnaik4591]

Truly an amazing review and Sagar Sheldekar... Sir hats off to you. You are not just an amazing biker but also a true bike lover who learns about each and every part of the bike before putting it up as a video on the channel. Keep up the same enthusiasm sir. #powerdriftistheone

[@jeetpatel4561]

How to do these settings on CBR150R?

[@pranavadhith]

Jeet Patel you can't. The 150s come with factory sealed hydraulics for the forks. However you can adjust the preload and spring rate of the mono shock. Refer your owners manual ☺️

Good to know this but I don't own a Z800. * cries in a dark corner on my RS200 * I like these DIY videos PowerDrift. BTW is there any chance that you guys could come up with a video on riding & safety gears. If not all the gears, people will end up buying a helmet at least after watching that video.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Someday bro! Someday! and yes Avinash, this series can and will pretty much evolve into all that :)

[@pranitsingh1545]
