610 suspension settings.

[North]

(I have tryed reading the manual. It talks about things not shown it the pictures. )

I have had the bike out in the trails few times now. The back-end just hops on the rocks and hard stuff. It dosen't bite. I have played with the settings, but it just feels really stiff on the trails.

It has thestock tires, Metzeler MCE Karroo. The pressure is 32 psi. I am going to order 606's for the rear.

North..

I have done a fair bit of reading on the TE610...everyone says it takes a while for the suspension to settle in. 32psi might be a bit much for the rear. I always ran around 22-24 on the 640.

Have you tried to set the static and race sag before changing the comp/rebound settings?

Set your sag.

Come to the Noobie Ride October 19th; You'll get some great guidance on setting up your suspension & what everything does.

32 psi is way to much for the TE. I believe the owners manual suggests something like 17-19 psi. If I am slabbing it for a long way, I'll pump my tires up to 20/25 (front/rear)psi, then drop back to 17/19 for gravel and offroad riding. In muddy conditions I'll go as low as 15/15 without rimlocks.



Cheers,
Andy

I did lower the PSI, both are at 20 PSI.
