Hey guys rookie question but thought id ask anyway.
Im very much a goon with understanding all the differences suspension settings make to a bike but just want someone to explain to me more about rebound.
Ive played with my comp settings to no avail and want to try rebound to see if i can get this bike a bit more ridable over bumpy victorian roads.
I'm more so needing this info for my street bike setup (2015 MV F3 800)..i have had it re-valved and re-sprung and its much much better but i'm still really struggling on high speed bumps (100kph+ corners or straights) with the back end feeling very harsh and unsettling the whole chassis. I have had a big tank slapper exiting a corner which really sapped my confidence.
On smooth roads the bike is amazing but over semi rough roads i just don't like it..out of all the bikes i've had its been the worst.
Can someone please describe what
-A lack of rebound would do to the bike. What will it feel like? What will it do to the handling?
-Too much rebound would do to the bike? what does that feel like?
Any particular wear that the tyre will show with either too much/too little rebound? Will i be able to determine this from tyre wear?
Any help would be appreciated and looking forward to hearing some thoughts. I dunno if you guys mess around with rebound much on track but keen to see what you think as i have no idea and just ride as it all seems too confusing for me.
Cheers guys
Alex
