Okay, I know most people say Change them. But the Rotary rear shock set up on my TLR1000, I don't find that bad.

The only issue I've got with it, Is the fact that it creeks. Confused
If I spray a bit of Fine oil on the bushes where it joins the swing arm, And the Frame. The creaking stops.

But after a few days, Its constantly creaking again.

Could it be shagged bushes? On such a low mileage bike?



Also, Would going from a 190/50-17 rear tyre, To a 190/55-17 rear tyre make a great deal of difference?

When I had my TLR I had the rotary damper on, I did in excess of 10k miles, I sold it with about 28k on the clocks.
The only thing I found was the shock felt weak after being sat in traffic but soon sorted itself out.

I think i stuck with the 190/50's and they held fine and I was running on corsa3's

hi

just spraying alone is fine but you will get a better effect if you loosen the bolts and grease inside.

as for the tire it will make it a bit more lively at the bars and quicken the turn in slightly and as there already a bit demonic do you really want that Question

personally i would stick with the 190-50-17 as there the ones for the bike Thumbs Up hth
