[QUOTE="jason389, post: 671669, member: 19388"] Good news first: I changed the clutch lever setting to 1 and shifted above 4000 rpm....helped some. The G2 is on the way. I finally had a ride today to check out the new suspension settings. Bike definitely feels firmer and less mushy. THe bad news: The rattling in the front end is much worse. The feedback in the front end when braking hard made me think she might even slide. I rode down a bumpy road and it sounded like the front end would fall off. I'm perplexed. When I suspended the front end and checked the whee/ fork assy for movement it moved very little. It clunks loudly - something is def not right......... I am about to tear down the steering head and will report back. Any further suggestions appreciated. PS just wondering why a new member with actual problems asking for help would be put straight into the "never-ending-pointless-recurring threads." I did search extensively for answers before I started my own thread, but I guess since someone may have posted something similar before I am being redundant and pointless. But I digress. -Jason very appreciative of help/suggesions "newbie" [/QUOTE]
