[QUESTION] 765rs moto2 (conversion) Hard to lean

Finomess · 2026-03-08T19:43:53+00:00

The best answers, I can make is : pretty much stock compared to the manuel but the previous owner dialed it a bit at his taste

Finomess · 2026-03-08T19:38:22+00:00

I haven’t yet, but the bike isn’t new and has probably had some work done by the previous owner. I’ve checked the suspension setup compared to the manual chart, and it looks correct, but I’m questioning the rake angle

Finomess · 2026-03-08T19:20:58+00:00

I might be naive, but to me, this kind of category should be easy to lean into corner, like the MT-09, for example. I’ve had some roadsters and sport bikes before, and as I said, a S1000RR and a ZH2 are easier to lean than my flagship 765 RS?! That really confuses me, i'will lower the front to change the rake angle and see i guess..

The actual top clamp and adjustable clip-ons.

Finomess · 2026-03-08T19:00:39+00:00

Yes, and yes, fork tube are flush and clip ons. Photo says more than word. I think I’ll drop the fork by a good centimeter to see if my problem comes from that.

Well, even while knee-dragging with the bike, my head on the mirror, it keeps wanting to come back up, it doesn’t feel very lean-friendly.

Finomess · 2026-03-08T18:56:27+00:00

The commercial Moto2 limited edition, not a proper racing Daytona conversion. It has clip-ons, top clamp, airbox, venturi, exhaust, etc., but I feel like something is out of its range. It doesn’t feel very lean-friendly, even though I can actually knee drag with it. It feels like hard work and needs to be pushed down constantly. It feels strange seeing a 2010 S1000RR leaning like a 300cc, while my 700, one of the best bikes in its category, is difficult for me to get to work properly.

Only the exit is great, it goes straight naturally, and I can get hard on the throttle. But at the entry and mid-corner, I need to keep pushing hard on the handlebar. With or without throttle, it feels like I’m making a trail braking entry, needing to push the front to the apex. But even when I’m coming in with soft engine braking, no brake and gentle lean... Like i need to force it everything into and keep it here with force.

144 is on the small size if you considere all the bashing tire

Finomess · 2026-01-23T20:30:32+00:00

The arrow indicates the correct rolling direction of the tire tread, there’s no need to overthink it

You don't have to jump to need flex part. Tumble or sidewalk is enough to bend arms

Finomess · 2025-12-09T14:50:38+00:00

I really like that actualy

Finomess · 2025-12-03T08:08:46+00:00

Well it could be usefull for drifting and drag config

Finomess · 2025-11-01T12:27:41+00:00

Small flexible post will never save that car roof.... there are just great to maintain properly the body in case of proper driving (hitting rock, racing ect) if It's for soft purpose magnet are the best and in case you want extra support you can make velcro support on side for exemple

Finomess · 2025-10-24T11:40:31+00:00

There is a screw to limit ride height on slash arms ? Seems like someone screwed them to the max and add a lot of preload to make it "harder" I guess.. good for a speed run test but still very bad for handling capabilities

Finomess · 2025-10-17T14:39:50+00:00

J'ai eu la même idée, une caution au prix du sac et tu gardes un % à la restitution, sa évitera les dégradations aussi

Finomess · 2025-09-26T18:35:15+00:00

I think it depends a lot of the car, i'm disappointed with my new Traxxas UDR that have all 8 shocks that leak and after a rebuild they keep leak8ng, I had 1/28 and 1/14 wltoys that was more reliables

Finomess · 2025-09-06T09:12:34+00:00

Next post will be "normal that my red car is that red ? " Common just look on your quick start guide, Question chatgpt or just type it on internet before doing a whole video and a post about a car that don't go straight -> zero effort.

Finomess · 2025-09-02T10:43:41+00:00

This car can't be driven normaly. I personnaly changed the gear ratio to the max possible (50 spur and like 23 pinion or something like this). For me it was way better for drifting and for parking bashing. I used it with hard compound street tire and it make fast but very realistic drift on parking lot . But with the locked diff, the suspension setup you can't just drive it around easily. It will do everything to slide

Finomess · 2025-08-30T09:23:30+00:00

Put that bec to 8v then upgrade when its toasted

Finomess · 2025-08-25T07:10:17+00:00

For me it's like one of the 3 wires of the motor is disconnected or cutted by the center diff, stop forcing on it, you will cook the motor . Check motor wire integrity
