· Front forks internal
springs stretched
· NF steering springs
no preload
· Lengthen front
forks 4mm
· Bearing holders
mounted to middle holes
· K & S music
wire 3/32”D crash bars sized so fairing doesn’t scrape at full lean while forks turned

installed
· No front brake
unit installed
· Rear shock: Mugen
7000wt. diff oil
· Rear
shock standard kit provided preload spacers
·
Gearing: stock gearing

Ian's TT Preferred setup (in addition
to above):
· TT alum. rear
rim and CNR delrin front rim
· TT alum. main
plates and CNR carbon double servo and carbon rear plates
· Rear shock: extra
1/10th touring car spring inside of spring
· Rear shock: Mugen
7000wt. diff oil w/shock reservoir
· NF alum. triple
clamps
· NF Steering dampener
w/2 o-rings
· NF front brake
unit: set F/R brake bias to 60/40
· Gearing: CNR
25T sprocket, all other gears stock
· NF lexan rider
Notes:
· Adjust radio
trim to ensure servo horn at 90 degree angle; then adjust all steering trim and left/right bias with spring collets
· Tighten lay shaft
setscrews, front axle screws, layshaft bearing holder screws, and fork top screws before each run
· Frequently check
condition of rear wheel bearing spacer (lodged in between bearings)
· Compressed air
on chassis and motor frequently, oil all bearings every 10 runs
· Adjust steering
trim by moving collets first, then fine-tune with transmitter
· Tighter steering
springs = faster response but when cornering bike will want to upright itself and harder to turn tighter since you have to
steer it perfectly
· Smaller rake
angle = faster response but loss in steering stability
· Higher rear shock
position = less rear grip
· Steering shock
can be used to eliminate remaining head shake but could transfer shake to rear end in the process (can also remove shake by
tightening steering springs)
· Higher front/rear
mounting position decreases grip at that end
· F/R brake bias:
60/40 allows some braking in turns, 70/30 must do majority of braking in straights
