Again, I'm just trying to put my finger on why the noticeable difference in composure between the two models. It would be interesting now to compare a US 2021 SS9 to my US 2020 SS9 to see if maybe there were some tweaks across the board or if the differences are exclusively between the 21kw bikes and the 13kw bikes.
Well I read lots of tests and also have some 32yrs of riding experience myself. From what I can tell and from what the motorcycle press writes, there are always manufacturing differences as every component has it’s own tolerance. So a bike can end up at the upper end of the tolerance stack, the next one might be on the lower side. A sensitive rider certainly will notice the difference.
Did you mention yours has got different tires? Tires have usually the biggest impact to driving characteristics.
No direct experience but pretty much every thoughtful review on line has found the SS9- stock rear shock to be a weak point. Sounded to me perhaps simply overwhelmed by the weight. So lighter bike would improve that.
Seen that as well. Anyway it appears that this is more true with lighter riders. A well known publisher of a small magazine in Germany has an SS9 2018; he is more on the light side and wrote that he is much happier with an aftermarket shock from Hyperpro. So maybe heavier riders might be more happy with the stock shock??
I’m hoping to receive my SS9+ ‘soon’
, my 120kg ass is rather sensitive to chassis set up, so I will let you know my 1st impressions as well.
@Multivitamin - how did you record the charge graph?
Everytime it changed one percent i have noted the current amount of kW it was charging
Wow! Thanks for the effort and for sharing with us!
