Easy to miss the turn in to Tesco’s

Had the same problem... But due to social distancing measures I had to stop in a remote location to consult the list prior to going to the shop.

I would like to say T7, but Ktm950 has better suspension, more power.

Not the bike but the rider makes the biggest difference. It surprised me  what the guy on BMW R100GS was doing on his bike.

Was only kidding really. Yeah it is so more the rider. Even though the KTM has better suspension i'd still prefer to be on the wee cheaper T7. Yeah, BMW's flat twin cylinders stick out and act like a tight rope walkers balance pole.

I installed a 95Nm , made an incredible amount of improvement! Just need to dial in the compression and rebound settings. Still feeling a bit firm.

Thanks. What weight are you in Kg? Does it affect how the front feels. I’m thinking 90Nm for me.

I'm well North of 100Kg, I'm a big unit. I have not ridden it long enough to give a good answer. But going on past experience, by the time I dial in the rear the front will need work. I like to do things in increments, so I can gauge the impact of the changes that I do. I could really tell the rear suspension needed work with  luggage! At the moment the front feels ok.

Thanks. Agree front reasonable. 85Nm may do me considering original is 70Nm. 95Nm may be to much for me. Cheers.

I have fitted the 90nm on mine and it has transformed the bike, one of the best mods I've done to the bike... My weight last time measures was 104kg with no gear... 

Bike is so much more compliant and handles way better than with stock spring. 

Check my impressions and sag numbers in the suspension thread.
