Appreciate all the suggestions, however Ohlins doesnt do custom set up for BMW's, they only apply known good set ups and since their name isnt on the side of the bike there's too much cost for them to make a custom spring. Try calling Ohlins and asking for a stiffer spring on an R1100S Ohlins,...they will fight you to the end and not reccomend an 85nm front spring. Yet it's a known good set up for Nate, Myself and many others. However Kent at Computrack is much more willing and able to help and will be custom ordering a spring if the out of the box Ohlins spring turns out to be the wrong application on this new R12S. This new R12S front end is a bit different then the old. We can use some of the same tricks, but the geometry is different enough to have to relearn what to change. Between the newer gen Telelever and Paralever, its a challenge! |

Which means I spent 10 minutes yesterday trying to school one of his guys on BMW's BTDT. Funny, eh? Again, if someone would get me the full dimensions, I might could come up wth the spring (custom). Nate's bike might need to run an extra sticker or two though. So, k=76 N-m an l=190mm, right? I.D needed to fit spring seat properly (both top and bottom?) Max allowable O.D. to provide other needed clearances (both top and bottom) ?? Let me know. No guarantees, but... |
Ya, know, I can't contribute squat to this thread, but I wanna say:
This has gotta be the most awesome thread I have ever seen on any BBS anywhere Freakin' awesome! Go N8! |
An interesting article about anti-dive can be found here:
http://www.tonyfoale.com/Articles/Dive/DIVE.htm So if BMW changed the CoG position (and I think they have; doesn't the new S has more weight on the front?) then the anti-dive characteritic is already altered. Setting up a bike with a different front suspension then teles is difficult because the bike tends to react different to input parameters. Hugo |
