My Er6n

Hi all. Heres my 2006 Er6n. I've owned her since march this year originally bought with 1500 miles on the clock and a 33bhp restrictor kit fitted - ( still fitted offcourse Wink

). So far, the bikes been brilliant. I Really like the riding position on the road with the risers and renthals. It also makes a fairly respectable sound imo too considering it's running on a standard can. - Soon to be changed for a nice akra Very Happy

! The only thing that mythers me is the frame sway (If that is a phrase) when at speed in long corners. I realize it doesn't have the hadling capabilities of many other bikes, however, i didn't realize it would feel quite so flighty when at speed.

Anyway, some snaps..

I've got a few more mods planned such as carbon hugger, tail tidy and silver undertray.

Hope you like her.

Cheers for looking Thumbs Up

Can and tailtidy would finish it off nicely.

Have to say, i prefer the faired version, the headlight on the n is a bit fugly imo, butm if you like it, that's what matters Thumbs Up

Regarding the "sway" when your cornering, sounds to me like your preload is set too soft. If i carry a pillion without increasing the preload, it tends to wallow and sway a bit when leaned over.

Is the preload adjustable on your rear shock, and how much do you weigh?

yeah it is adjustable mate.
I stiffened it by a quater turn to see any slight differences, however i didnt want to play with it too much at the time. I'll have another crack at it with slight changes of preload.
And I only weigh 10st ringing wet so yeah, i can imagne that doesn't help with the bikes wallowing.

Cheers Thumbs Up
