Ive swapped from a standard (cbr 1000 f)twin arm rear swingarm to a VFR 800 single sider but the single sided swingarm setup is really stiff.
the preload is as soft as it will go, the damping is as soft as it will go and the bike feels as though it has no give in the rear at all when I ride it although it does move if i jump on it.
I think maybe the linkage dimensions are wrong. Should I have the same angles and dimensions as the original CBR setup or the VFR donor setup? or just keep fiddling and breaking shit?
Its killing my back and am almost regretting the swap. Its too late to swap it back over as i've modified the frame to suit the arm and trimmed the arm as well.
