MV Agusta Brutale 910S
Hi Peter & Tricia,
Sorry it has taken me this long to get back to you but with shift work & a busy life this
happens.
Parts arrived no problem. I
installed the forks & rear shock to the bike, set it up &
rode, made some adjustments & rode some more. ( & so on)
You were right Peter it is now firm without the harshness.
I have ridden on most of the same crap roads I had ridden the Brutale on before you worked on the suspension.
The bike no longer dances across the road over a series of bumps or slaps the bars from side
to side.
It doesn't deflect anymore and the front suspension actually works (up & down).
I can now put the bike through a series of bumps at speed with it maintaining its track &
manners very well.
The rear is no longer hammering me from behind & is soaking up the road surface quite well.
(once again it actually moves up & down)
I may reduce the spring preload a touch yet.
Compared to how it was, you have made my Brutale a rideable motorcycle in all situations,
rather than just on nice smooth roads as it was before.
It is no longer scary over bumpy roads & allows me to have confidence in the bike rather than
being worried about what it will do next.
You have turned this bike from a scary bucking & bouncing beast to the precise great handling
motorcycle it was meant to be..
Had a run in with a Buell, he had to use both sides of the road through some nice twisties
to block me from getting through whilst the MV never left it's side of the road
& still went through the turns quicker. (He was too unpredictable/dangerous to risk going past)
I do have the bike setup too soft allround which I find covers me for any situation/road surface I come across.
Thank you for your efforts as I am pleased with the result.
Regards
Chris Sweeney |

Triumph Speed Triple 2006 Sports/Rideday Hi Pete,
Just some feedback re- my Street Triple suspension that you
guys fixed for me. I set the sag to the correct amount by
screwing the front down two rings and about 3mm on the rear. Off
I went.
I backed the comp off a bit to try and smooth it out but it
got rougher so I went back to your suggested settings and added
1/4 turn of rebound. Presto! Beautiful. This was on ordinary
rough bitumen. It now handles fantastic, giving good feedback at
all lean angles and speeds, the 2ct Mitchy front being replaced
by a Bridgy 016 helped this as well. Money well spent, thanks
very much guys, very happy.

"Guys, Thanks for your efforts with the suspension for the CBX. As you can see by
the attached it went from nothing to something that not only looks good but also
handles great and is a pleasure to ride. All the best, George Scarfe"

Re: Suspension Upgrade on 10 year old Blackbird (Honda
CBR1100XX 1998) |

To who ever would like to take the time.
In this day and age it is very rare to use the expression "Good
Old Fashioned Service". Well as soon as I made my first contact
( by email ) with Promecha, I could tell that that was what I
was going to receive. Their Website leaves others in their
wake. Informative, Expert comments, and everything that you
would want to find on the subject of motorcycle suspension. The
first phone call just reinforced that "air" of confidence and
knowledge that comes with years of experience in doing something
that one really enjoys and takes pride in.
How many times have you been quoted a price and then the final
figure is actually CHEAPER. Yes that's right, cheaper.
I take my hat off to you Peter.
The work itself ? Well mostly being of an internal nature the
proof is in the testing. 10/10 for performance upgrade and rideability with the new mods. From handling like a ten year old
bike sometimes does, to riding confidently into corners and
feeling at One with the bike has been achieved with a basic
upgrade. I wish to thank Peter, Brad and all of the staff at Promecha for
such a wonderful experience. Kindest Regards, |
