    V9 Roamer tires

    There is no issue with availiability of any brands/models/sizes. Anyway, I will stick to OEM sizes and load indexes - 100/90 19 (57 load) and 150/80 16 (71 load). I use V9 Roamer as relaxed urban cruiser on less than perfect roads. I’m very temptated by Avon Cobra Chrome WWs for the looks , but...

    V9 Roamer tires

    There are many options on the market in theory. Avon even offer cobra chrome rear in both bias and radial variants in 150/80 16 size. I’m asking for opinion from somebody who has practical experience with non-OEM tires on V9 Roamer.

    V9 final drive (bevel gear) oil specs

    Manual requires Eni Rotra/Agip gear MG 85W-140 gl4/5 for final drive (bevel gear) of mine V9. But there is no availiable Eni/Agip oil of that spec for sale anywhere. What should I put into my final drive? Please share your experience.

    Griso rear suspension travel and its increase.

    Longer suspension travel have advantage in terms of achievable comfort on the bad road. And.... I have front and rear Matris setup with all (preload, compression, rebound) with right springs on my V9, and what this bike lacks is rear suspension travel. I mean on the roads I ride :) So does...

    Griso rear suspension travel and its increase.

    A couple of preliminary questions: 1) Griso rear suspension travel is 110 mm per specs. But shock stroke is limited by bump stop. Does this mean that maximal suspension travel in reality is less than 110 mm? Because bump stop "eats" the stroke:) 2) Lets assume that the statement above is...

    V9 Suspension Thread

    Hi! Given that front fork travel is 130 mm and rear wheel travel is 96mm, sag numbers 32mm and 20mm (front and rear respectively) look like too much preload, compared to what is stated as "target sag" in the first message of of this thread. Probably, your set up is not in contradiction with the...

    Final Drive Gear Oil Leaks V7 & V9

    Have you checked air breather condition and oil level, after noticed the leak? AFAIK, overfilling and inoperational breather may build pressure leak the seal.

    V9 Suspension Thread

    Hi! I see that you have all damping settings according to Matris manuals for F15 and M40D. Have you tested other setting yet? And what are your sag number, front and rear? You are much lighter than me (160 vs 190 lbs) and you have dialed pretty much preload (I have zero preload on the same...

    Finally managed to get Matris F15 and M40KC (piggyback) for my V9 Roamer and have it all installed (in Russia). My weight is 190-195 lbs (86-89 kg) in gear, solo riding only, no luggage. M40KC was supplied with springs rated 20n/mm, fork springs rated 7,5 n/mm. Rider front sag of 43 mm and...

    V7 C-S Suspension Thread

    I'm still into research about suspensions and setting up rear shocks with separate compression and rebound setting. The question is about the balance between compression and rebound damping. Whenever I buy good shocks I will have to dial them myself, thats why I seek for info. So can anybody...

    This is why Im asking for specific advice. I dont know which option from your store fits my needs best: " maximal comfort and relaxed urban cruising on the roads with not very good pavement". I'd prefer shocks without piggy back (for the style reasons), unless they make significant comfort...
