Educate me...

a little more on rearsets.

I do know

Aftermarkets rearsets allow you to move your feet to a different position from stock rearsets. Some aftermarket rearsets are fixed and others are adjustable (usually more expensive).

What are the advantages?
1. More comfortable ride because you're legs may not be the same length as mine.
2. Through the rearsets you place weight on the bike. Having the choice to change the geometry of how and where that weight is transferred into the frame is important under track or race conditions.
3. Most aftermarket rearsets do not fold back like stock. This can save you money in bodywork and engine casings if you should fall.


For 'adjustable rearsets' how do you know how you want them to be adjusted? Does it just come from preference over time?

Well a better way to put it was that I was looking at Sato Racing rearsets positions and I have no idea what those numbers mean. Can someone please elaborate more on this as to how they affect statement #2.

The number's (MM) are the difference in peg location to the stock pegs. So they show how far back & up you can adjust over stock.
