"Sidecars technical part 2"
To Sidecars technical; PART 1, PART 3
This table gives some possible solutions to different outfit performance
problems. Because no outfit is the same these solutions does not work always.
For sidecars at the left side of the bike you have to interchange the green text in column 2 and 3. Remember that you must adjust the settings for your cruise speed. I'm not responsible for any damage caused by the information you have used from mine site or emails. Be carefull !! John Dreuning. |
