RIDER ANALYSIS:
That's one of the best things
about the Slacker—you don't
need any more than one
person. What used to be a
three-man job is now one,
and it's more accurate than
your buddy who can't read a
tape measure!
The Slacker is supremely
simple to use and is an
answer to yet another
problem riders have been
staring in the face for
decades. All that's required
is to measure the distance
between the swingarm pivot
and the axle, then find the
same measurement above
the axle on the number plate
and affix the Slacker's hook.
Connect the Slacker to the
axle via the magnetic piece
on the back, and turn it on,
get on the bike and bounce
it a few times and check the
reading. If you're on your
own you'll need the remote
readout but if you have a
buddy around, get them to
read the number to give you
your static sag and compare
it to your manufacturer's
specs. Do the same on the
front and, job done. You've
now got simple, accurate
readings that will give you
a starting point for better
handling suspension.
And if you've got a street
bike, Motool also has a
Slacker kit for that, too.

YouTube video here that
further explains what the
Slacker is all about.

Correct suspension adjustment is something
we all like to think we know about, but the truth
is, this is an area most riders could use a little
help with.
Setting up your sag is the first step to
ensuring you have the right numbers for
your riding weight, making the bike more
predictable during braking and acceleration
with a neutral chassis that's stable and
responsive. Being off in your sag by even a
small amount can seriously affect your bike's
handling, turning it from friend to foe at the
twist of a spanner nut
But thankfully, getting those numbers spot
on and keeping your bike on the happy side
of life has just become a whole lot easier with
the Motool Slacker Digital Sag Scale kit. The
Slacker uses a simple digital scale to measure
the static sag, which will let you know if you
have the correct spring in your fork or shock.
