There's a moment when a motorcycle just flows — steering is effortless, the bike feels planted and alive. That feeling is engineered. But there's one thing that keeps engineers from getting it perfect for you: you.
Stock suspension is built for an average rider. If you're above or below that weight, carry luggage, or ride hard — your bike is dressed up for a mannequin, not for you. In this video, I walk through the full process of sending my AJP PR7 suspension to RG3 Scandinavia for a custom rebuild, what they actually do inside (springs, shims, oil, valves — and a little secret sauce), and my first impressions after installing it back on the bike.
Before you drop €3–4K on Öhlins or Rally Raid — watch this.
