  • Page 28: Ride Height

    A proper setup can be the difference between a podium finish and an “also ran” finish. While the GPV-1 RTR seems like a simple machine, there are a lot of little elements that can effect the overall performance. The following pages do not provide absolute settings but rather provide you with the tools necessary to fully understand what is happening with each adjustment.

  • Page 29: Wheel Base

    RAKE ANGLE RAKE ANGLE 69º 69º/66º/64º 69º- Very responsive. Best for short tracks with many turns and low to medium speeds. 66º- Stock position. Most versatile for general 66º running, medium speeds. 64º- Less responsive. More stable, best for big tracks and high speeds.
  • Page 30 REAR SHOCK POSITION The optional VEN-0328 Race Chassis Kit will give you a total of 9 possible rear shock positions. Use these adjustments to fine tune the rear suspension without having to change the spring rate. Adjust the preload colar to reset the ride height after changing the shock position.

  • Page 32 DROOP SCREW SETTING The Droop Screw limits the down travel of the swing arm. The stock setting has 2mm of exposed screw. Note: Droop settings can effect ride height adjustments. More Travel = Good for loose surface conditions. More active suspension Less Travel = Good for higher grip surface conditions.
  • Page 33 Rear shock angle, rake angle, and wheelbase adjustments can all effect the ride height of the GPV-1 RTR. The chassis should stay about 58mm from the swing arm pivot point to the ground for the most consistent handling characteristics. If the ride height is too low, the bodywork may drag on the ground during extreme lean angles making the bike unstable.
