Z650 progress

This was my fourth gymkhana-style run and setup since I started building the Z650.

The rear spring rate was changed based on the data from the previous run, and the suspension was set up accordingly.

We then considered the differences between the Q5A and Diablo and looked at the differences in setup.

As a result, the change in rear spring rate felt very good.

By setting the preload to an appropriate value, the compression damper has more room to maneuver, and the initial response has improved.

It is now possible to set the front pre-loader and compression damper in the pull-out direction as well.

However, I realized that the final course was still too long for me to drive, so I decided to make it even shorter!

It's short enough that it can be ridden on public roads, but I'd like to make it a little longer when touring.

Current changes to the Z650.

position

Change of handlebars (Kawasaki genuine)

Sheet processing

Front Inner ridge change Ohlins 8.5kg

Rear suspension change Nitron 14.2kg "Original 13kg Nitron 12.5kg"

Final change 14-47 "Until last time it was 15-48" "Normal 15-46"

ECU rewrite

ABS deactivation "remove sensor"

Tires Q5A and Diablo

This is the current situation.

By the way, in the final 15-48 state, in Q5A I was able to run at 104.39% of the KX112 + CST's time.

However, the Diablo is also at 103.6%, so isn't it possible that there is insufficient acceleration and there is still room in the tires?

That's what I mean.

At the next practice session, I will try running the final with 14-47 and look at the setup of the Q5A and Diablo.

I would like to be able to enjoy running to a certain extent by the time of the JAGE Cup.

I would like to continue to disclose all the setup details as I go along.
