Triumph Sprint ST-Suspension Tune

I own a 2009 Triumph Sprint ST along with it's comedy suspension. Under sprung and underdamped at both ends. Like riding a pogo stick. Brilliant bike otherwise. Tired of being thrown out of the seat when pushing on let alone the problem of holding a line cornering I decided on throwing some money at both ends. 

I contacted Teut and his advice was to go with a revalve on the front shimmed to suit my weight along with a heavier spring. A new rear shock was recommended as the original is so poor in design it's not suitable for rebuilding. I was advised this elsewhere. I went for a Nitron shock with external reservoir with compression and rebound adjustment again sprung to suit. 

The bike is now transformed. I can stick it into a bend with the confidence it will hold its line and even change direction mid corner. Teuts settings were spot on with only a small adjustment on rear compression damping required. Only problem now is I may need some stickier tyres. 

Will be sending him the Ohlins off my Ducati for fine tuning over winter.

Thanks Teut you've made the unrideable loved again.
