You beat me to it! I was about to write the same comment :)

Excellent information and thank you for sharing that. New bikes have many little things to discover!

Mine was missing when I got mine last year.

lol they all go missing sadly.. @@Bugra_Celebi

the real advice is always in the comments

We were very close to a date in Colorado but at the last minute it didn't work out. A quick flight for me for a evening event - how many riders would be interested?

let me get on that, I'll talk to some shops and riders.

I live in Denver. I would definitely come out depending on date/time.

too cool M Modo, let's get DaveM to Colorado!!!!

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any tips you can offer me

@Archer Dash instablaster =)

@Lucca Maximilian Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Lucca Maximilian it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out !

@Archer Dash you are welcome =)

And it's reliability too!

GSX-R750 has been there many years already. Be nice for another to join that 750 range.

I accidentally met a guy that works in the production line of Triumph in UK.He said they are gonna produce it! Fingers crossed!

happened lol

Great to know you took some tools to your bike to get the suspension better for yourself. Thank you for taking the time to do that!

Actually mine bottoms out at 18mm

When you get the bike email me dave@davemosstuning.com. I will send you questions and from your answers I will give you settings to install with a range that you can test with so you can learn for yourself. There are many video's on sag, spring, damping so use my name and the topic, or look through the how to playlist for generic 101 information with the 3 minute video lengths.

Dave Moss Tuning thanks Dave!

Glad you took some time to work on your bike and get the suspension moving your direction with changes made.

Thank you!!!

Hi Charlie. You can start acquiring the skills via a 1-1 consult. The test plan you acquire will then set you off on your own journey of discovery that will last you a lifetime.

harshit verma You can't go wrong with both bikes since both are updated and latest with best kit on stock. So it all comes down to the service and customer support. Here in Chennai Triumph has better service and customer care than Kawasaki. Three of my friends own Triumphs, and i know the owner personally, so no issues. So check with riders in your area, see if which is best in your area and go with that. Cheers!

Saravana Kumar hope I find someone. There's no one here that I know off. :/

harshit verma Well then head to the showrooms, see how they interact with you, see who gives extensive test rides and choose the one you feel gives better customer support. Cheers

I might be too late commenting on this specific discussion here.. i personally thought i will end up with the same dillema z vs RS when i started thinnking of getting my self one.. but oh boy after riding RS for long test drive 60KM, bloody i was sold never wanted to even go to kawa.. for few simple facts that anyday is worth the extra money it asks.. The light weight of RS, the razor sharp handling, the top spec hardware i can bet my life on, the buttery smooth, most and most important in india is the bad traffic issue.. so freaking awesome heat management by triumph.. i just overall feeling of the mean machine loads of power with light rigid chasis with top spec hardware for your safety.. the 10k kms / 1 year of service interval, do u really need any more pointers here over kawa ???? a true superbike enthu can really make sense of why u pay for the premium parts.. and i am sold never looked back again i know kawa and other 800cc segment bikes can not just offer the top notch quality of RS.. i am sold brother, just booked it 2 days back.. i live in india.. hope this helps u.. if u have ever thought of getting RS, never look back, just never..

Make sure you measure from the joint of the dust seal and the outer tube. You are missing around 6mm. For the road depending on levels of aggressiveness, 30-40mm total sag would be a good starting point. If you have a zip tie on the right fork leg, how much travel are you using now?

Thanks for the kind words. That is a question that is generations old. We cannot get that answer from any manufacturer no matter how often and who you ask. So, we learn to see what we have and then fix it, hence the after market being so diverse.

Hello Gael. Thanks for the kind words and glad the content has given you a lot more knowledge. 1, You are not keeping the STR for long, so zero static doesn't matter and yes, a much stronger spring is needed. Set compression at 6 clicks from maximum and test travel used. Ideal is 3-4mm from the bottom out bumper. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcuKh5R9qL-cc4k.html

@@catalystreactionsbw okay ! Thanks a lot ! I’ll adjust the front later :)

Please answer via email to: dave@davemosstuning.com. Is your weight 165lbs without gear? How many miles/kms on the bike now? Are you coming from dirt to road? Do you have a zip tie on one leg and if so, how much travel are you using. Thanks.

Ideal buffer is 15-20mm so it sounds like the settings you have are working very well indeed for you. try 5 out on rebound and see if that makes the forks more comfortable/smoother action.

@@catalystreactionsbw Thanks Dave. Will try that. You are right on according to the factory manual for comfort settings. They claim for comfort 5 1/2 for rebound and 7 for compression. Will start with only tweaking rebound and see !

You can get new forks caps not replacement screws. I use metal screwdrivers all the time but I am very careful when adjusting to never force anything.

mjones53 they’re a general baseline to work from, depending on where you ride you can adjust further. It’s just trial and error really. Adjust, ride. Adjust, ride. There’s a guide in the handbook. Make notes, it’ll help if you mess it up.

The manual doesn't say who for in regards to weight, ability, roads ridden, riding style etc.

also, the direction of the turns in the manual is different than video

Moving the lock rings up would take tension off the spring to reduce rear sag. I'd go two turns of preload to start with.

Awesome work Dave - thanks so much for you advice and guidance. :)

It adjusts from 25-75mm in diameter: www.sip-scootershop.com/EN/Products/BU5415/Hook+Spanner+BUZZETTI+shock.aspx?_country=E993AB67-6807-4109-BBED-F6374EBF9F9B&gpc_origin=shopping&gpc_feed_alias=de&gpc_pid=BU5415&gclid=CjwKCAjwwab7BRBAEiwAapqpTCHiWspneD8pGS_dAKdTFSU6XudYZeJhV2tAeXWtN3H3f7a2g5aynBoCnY8QAvD_BwE

If you would like an explanation of how to make the adjustments and what you need for your weight, please email me dave@davemosstuning.com

Dave Moss Tuning I think I might need it to as I'm planning to get it soon too ;)

Yes, set static sag in the rear to 10-15mm for track use so the bike is not rear biased.

@@catalystreactionsbw would you leave the front alone for track use too ?

@@toppocbr I would use a cable tie and see what was needed for preload based on travel used. Then make adjustments at the end of the 3rd session.

I did not measure the seat height but my guess would be 30". With sag being set and compression a little softer you might get the seat height down to 30".

Perfect!! It is definitely going on my list along with the CBR 500 (surprisngly) I rewatched your video and it looks more upright but also like I could take it to the track and have some fun!!

Look for a full video on the 765RS next week by Wednesday. If you subscribe to Total Access to watch the video, I will answer your questions post video at no charge to you.

The earlier 06/07 675 has great torque and no top end rush.

I’ve owned both the old 675 R and now the 765 RS and I can say without any DOUBT the 765 RS is the best Street Triple ever made.

With new oil, the settings for the bike are mostly open on the fork due to the excessively bouncy and soft shock throwing all the weight forward, crushing your forks. We have all the settings on this bike here: davemosstuning.com/?s=triumph+765

weight is without riding gear, always

Always without gear as there is a massive weight range between even kangaroo and cow leather, let alone fabrics and armor.

It will be interesting to see what static sag and rider sag numbers you have for the rear shock at present. You didn't mention a spring change, so you still have the OEM spring? Licensed copies of the Ohlins equipment do not show up on the Factory database hence the technition having no information.

It looks like Triumph did their best to get the Ohlins name attached to this bike at a low cost. A Daytona R unit would have been nicer, as well as the forks but that would raise the price of course... Indeed the same spring is still on. Probably a 105 or 110 N/mm one would be better suited for me the engineer said. I still have to do a proper test on the local twisties and report back. I don't remember the sag settings, however once I ask/measure them I'll make sure to share them.

Okay, finally ideal motorcycling weather. I found that the initial turn in was suddenly much slower, but at first thought is was just between the ears. After a few spirited rides I look a look at my tyre, there appeared to be edges forming on the leading edge of the thread. Also I got too much feedback mid-corner for my liking. So as an experiment I opened up the rebound damper 3 more clicks. The result was fantastic, really agile turn in and much quieter mid-corner. Had a lovely afternoon after that :) I'm really amazed at what a difference 3 simple clicks made. But I'm not sure how rebound in the rear ties into turn in feel, I would assume that to be a front end affair. (Could of course by psychological, feeling more confident and then pushing harder on the handle bar...)

If the rear is slow, you have a chopper with no feel on the front. Open the rebound and the rear returns to neutral giving you a sportbike :)

A lot of stuff in between, but me and the mrs got around to do sag measurements for my bikes :) For the Street Triple RS (sportive street riding) all measured in mm with cold bikes (20c env. temp): Front static: 39 rider: 49 Rear static sag: 8 rider sag: 37 So given that fully suited up I bring 100kg to the scales I think I'll go and get a stiffer rear spring for my RS, preload is maxed out already. Not sure if it should be a 105 or 110 though. The front is still on default settings so the preload can be increased still. So aha, there's still better handling yet to come :) Compared to my '05 (pc37B) CBR600RR (track, intermediate level): Front static: 33 rider: 42 Rear static: 5 rider: 35 I'll give increasing both preload a go.

Hi Petros. Replied to your earlier comment on how to count: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grl3ZsZm2LSpdIU.html

1. What do you weigh without gear 2. How many kms on the odometer 3. Changes from stock 4. Brand model and sizes of tyres 5. Changes from stock re weight & gearing 6. Type of use: commute, weekends, aggressive, some track Please send your answers to dave@davemosstuning.com

@@catalystreactionsbw Thank you! 😁

Sorry for being late to respond. I was very busy! I am: 171lb weight with underwear, 5'11.5 height barefoot, 820 km (509 miles) on the odometer. And also they adjusted at the dealership, I don't know the settings, but I don't like the setup. The front seems to dive a bit too much after the adjustment. The roads where I live tend to be bumpy.

Tires: Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa (Triumph OEM),

If the shock was not to be touch, what would you do to make sure it is not? Create a spring that that fit without preload collars AND make a shock body that had no threads on it. The warning is an insult to those who know what they are doing and why. Let's see how Moto2 responds to that in 2018

It's completely nonsensical. The manual refuses to acknowledge that the R and the RS have proper threaded preload collars. But then it informs you that the base S model is only preload adjustable (stepped collar) and how to adjust it. It's mind bottling.

I should post this up and see what others make of this odd statement from Triumph. I've had a couple of emails on the same topic with people second guessing themselves in sheer disbelief that such words would be printed.

Well, the relevant pages in the owner's PDF file are 157, 158, and 160. Imgur album (if this links correctly) imgur.com/a/RjVij

The warning in the workshop manual is even more clear, saying that the stock setting must not be altered, and if in doubt of a change, it should be reset to the original length of 151,8 mm. I'm hesitating to change the pre-load because of this.

I thought those were mentioned in the video? I will have to watch it again .

As per my statement in the video, preload at 14 clicks out, rebound at 4 turns out, compression at 5 turns out. Shock spring tension to be increased by 2-3 turns, compression at 10 clicks out, rebound at 14 clicks out

Dave Moss Tuning. thanks for reply !test your settings next week...excuse me for disturb!

Depends on ability and speeds/road quality. 1.05nm fork and shock spring rate would be a good starting point.

@@catalystreactionsbw Hey Sir when will be in Southern California/Los Angeles area again? Would love to have you tune my suspension when you are back at this side of the world

@@mrrealegeno7004 Late January weather provided.22nd or 29th depending on International event dates.

@@catalystreactionsbw ok sir. When you’re in town may I come to you for the suspension tuning?

@@mrrealegeno7004 100%. My schedule is being constructed now for 2022 and is normally completed by January 15th. It will be live here: davemosstuning.com/calendar/

sweet

I try to look at a new bike with zero OEM hype and how it will fit me, plus what options it will take to get the suspension correct as this is money I will be spending on top of the purchase price. Does this information have value to you?

In the US, the RS is $12,500 plus fees.

It is perhaps one of the best things that has happened to Triumph in a long time. The last great thing was the expansion of the Bonneville range which launched Triumph into a lifestyle market.

It will be interesting then to compare dyno charts from an independent shop with similar mileage on both models, both completely stock. Someone has to have done that by now? I'll have to spend a few minutes searching.
