As the WRR is still in dry dock the TTR got another run today, from home up around the Barossa Valley, plenty of dirt roads, vineyards, no towns & only stopped to take a couple of photos.
The speedo hit 20k as I turned off onto the dirt, so another 150kms ride today, no rain but only 17c
This bike is so smooth however I am having issues with the front grip, it might be the fact the WRR with MT21's has unreal grip, I ran this bike with D605 dual sport tyres then D606's which gave a fair bit of understeer but was perdictable, even tried MT21's. I fitted ADV tyres hoping to get good results on gravel roads & keep the WRR on MT21's.
When I got back today I slid the forks up 5mm in the triples to try to sharpen up the front, will see how it is next weekend, running 15PSI as my normal settings, thinking I may have to go back to a D606.
Looks like a good chilled ride. I'm looking forward to getting out just as soon as we are able to do so.
Here in South Australia we are lucky that it is not a complete lock down & as long as we don't have 10 or more & keep SD under control we are fine. But in saying that I have been riding on my own both on the road bike & dual sport.
