MOPED ARMY

Ya. Don’t got more then 3 tho that is way too much and if unbraced it will probably bend/break a post. If not enough get heavier springs….

Eazy hack is run bike see how it does. Lay it on its side( so you don’t have to drain the oil). Pull it and make adjustments. Put it back in drive it and repeat until you get it where you like.

The wiki explains this pretty well. There is a max amount you want to turn the screws in. You mentioned a new clutch but it’s the springs that matter most. The treats blue springs or ESO springs are ok without a brace but anything stiffer and you risk bending the posts as mentioned above.

From your picture I see you have a proma circuit. Should be good with blue or eso springs

You can use a fish scale or similar to make sure they all have approximately the same tension. There is a video describing it iirc

I need a tool like that, the blue springs I have are old and they don't feel the same at the same screw settings. 1 is always weaker. I'm 2 turns in from flush with the springs it came with and it's shifting too early. I'll order some new blue.

Dang just saw this one that's probable even better: LINK

I've had negative results with the digital scales, but maybe it'll work out better for you!

I got the digital scale. I feel like I would like just the mechanical scale that I can set a tension limit to. But the digital has gotten me pretty close.

If you have not gotten stiffer springs already I know lots of folks run the blue polini ones but I do like the black esb springs.

25lb cuz I’m mild :)

Yes. 100% the stiffest you can get.

We’re so spoiled now with Treats and DOS man. So many options.

My thoughts exactly. Super cheap to play around with.
