[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 458970, member: 16552"] Good to see some specific input on the wer. I've got a couple rides on mine, now...and was curious what settings other riders found to be 'normal'. I've been running mine 3/4 mostly, 1/2 in powdery base with brick-sized sharp edged rocks. Not real sure about everything yet. Figure there is still some 'getting used to' to be done. Oversteer seems to be a problem. Well, kinda. Front end starts to drift in some of that deep powder stuff, turn bars a bit more, then it cuts in like oversteer, but pushes like understeer. SEEMS like the 'bit' of turn/cut is right where the damper action stops. I dumped it about FIVE times this past weekend (I think that's a record, even for me!). Every time, the bike went down on the INside of the turn (bars to left, dump-it to left). ***edit*** It occurred to me that my error on this ride was pushing the rear tire a bit too far. This is an area I SAVE my not-so-good tires to ride in. Tire on at this point was WAY past what I'd use if I actually needed traction. I've concluded that a tire with some actual KNOBS on it would have made a difference! Isn't THAT amazing!! ****edit**** Then again, I've tried 1/4 turn out just to see what it was like. It's AWful, is what it's like! Continually re-correcting, [b]trying[/b] to keep the front on-track. I compared my riding buddy's scotts to the wer. With his exc front-end off the ground, the scotts presence is obvious. Yet, I didn't feel it when I rode his bike. Conversely, even at 3/4 out, I can't readily 'feel' the wer with the front wheel off the ground, but CAN when I ride. Anyone with a point of view about that? As wer says, if you can feel it, it's too tight! So why is the scotts so tight at 1 1/2 out? Kinda felt like I had 20psi in the front tire. Had 10. The exc had 12, btw. I didn't use the light remount kit, but I have a twin lite UFO. Has straps already. Still cut out a piece for the heim link. Points of view??? [/QUOTE]
