American bikes are all about looks because their engineers don't know jack shit about making a good bike
An American firm would have to import engineers from a company that actually participates in real motorsport instead of flat track to make anything decent. Fuck, for how much Americans love MX, all the manufacturers are foreign.

When I took my GSX1200 to my dad's regular dealer to change tires and do a general checkup, they told me the rear shocks are worn out, which was noticeable when I had a passenger. Factory Showa replacements are 860 EUR each, and I need a pair.
Do I buy a set of JBS replacement shocks for 200 incl shipping, or do I have that dealer assemble me a custom set of Hyperpro's for 830? Everything else either lacks the fixed separate reservoir that the original Showa's have, or is 1000+. The bike only cost me 2500, so I really don't want to spend a third of that on shocks.
Brody Wood
depends how long you plan on holding on to the bike. >going to flip it in a year? get the shitters >DD till the end of days get the goods and never have to worry about it again
Hunter Sullivan
Currently doing a bachelor's in engineering, probably going to follow that up with a master's, so I've got very little budget.
Not planning to flip it per se unless the bills keep coming. Bought it for 2000, then had to spend 450 on tires, oil, etc because it had been sitting. Now those shocks need replacing somewhere this year, and the clutch is starting to slip, probably another 200 EUR bill (hopefully the steel plates don't need replacement too).
I'd love to own this thing forever, but spending that large of a fraction of the good ones seems stupid at a time when I don't have a lot of disposable income. I might just put the eBay specials on there for now, and do a complete Hyperpro's setup, including front end, when I finally get a full-time job.

What could it be? The pads? What is causing this obnoxious and consistent ticking?

Sorry M80, but the Milwaukee 8 and the latest Softails>Thunder Stroke 111 and the Chief it powers, although the Thunderstroke engine is much more aesthetic. I'll happily concede the Scout>>>>>>>>>>Sporty however, and it's looking increasingly like the Scout will be my next bike. Yeah, just get the cheap ones for the time being. Best to replace it with something that you can afford, instead of keeping the knackered ones.
John Sanchez
I'm really too scared to go 400kph on the street.
Nicholas King
That's because engineers are extremely competent, and can work in just about any field, mechanical engineers especially. Banks here in particular love engineers for their analytics.
My country (Netherlands) has a big shortage of engineers, especially with the growing economy. The demand has tripled since 2015 iirc, and it's only getting worse. I already got a job offer in my field, and I'm only in my second year. People in their final year can usually receive a contract before they get their degree. ~80% of all internships result in job offers.

Exactly. So arguing the engine performance of the two is silly. The only reason to get a cruiser is because you like the way it looks.

First off, Suzuki (unlike honda) has always tuned their dual-shock street bikes to be correct at the LOWEST preload setting. If you increase preload the shocks will not have enough rebound damping. Two-up will also need more rebound. If the shocks aren't adjustable then you need to live with it, just set spring preload to zero and don't move it unless you are regularly bottoming out.
You won't need steel plates in the clutch, unless you go to that same dealer.
Oliver Rogers
Reminder.
Julian Anderson
Youre a moron. Shocks can be bad and not leak
Isaiah Rivera

DONT CALL MY BIKE UGLY REEEEE
Isaac Davis
I had that at one point and it went away after I replaced the chain and sprockets. Turned out one of my sprockets had a big crack through it that was probably clicking.
Noah Cooper
Left shock is leaking just a little bit. They already set the preload to max for me, and set the rebound to max as well, which still wasn't enough. What would happen if I set the preload to the lowest?
I probably won't need steel plates, but I don't know how much the previous owner abused it and I'm only just getting used to the power. Coming off an A2 bike, onto the fastest street bike of 1999, it's a big jump and I'm only just getting her into the RPM range where she starts slipping. I'm having my own guy (a former Suzuki head mechanic) swap them for 50 EUR, let's just hope he doesn't find out the steel needs replacement when he opens it up.
David Harris
>preload to max for me, and set the rebound to max Yah that's crossed up.
The more spring you have, the more rebound damping you need to control it. You have, what, five steps on that preload adjuster? Start it at lowest and see how that feels. This will also lower the ride height in the back as well as increase rake in your forks (a little) which will make the bike a little more stable, which will also help.
If you have or can find the owners manual, it may list the "starting" settings that the bike was delivered with. That would be the best place to start, really.
Grayson Bell
I was convinced that it was the wheel bearings, but I know for FACT I need a new sprocket and chain at the moment so it very well could be that.
Thanks for telling me, guess I'll replace it sooner than I thought and see
Ethan Butler
But what if I am 200 pounds?
James Jackson
I'm pretty tall, so without the higher ride height I'm sitting way too low. Can't I do something about the rebound? What would perform better: slightly leaky Showa's from 1999, or brand new eBay specials?
Starting settings were 3/5 and 3/5 for both preload and rebound iirc. I'd have to find the manual for that.
