Cool New Gadget: ASV Solo Sag Scale

Zippy · 05-09-2010, 04:51 PM

Pricey but pretty cool. Anyone know anything about these? Only reviews I've read are from dirt bikers. I figure it should work well on street bikes too.

I agree on it bein pricey for what it is. It looks nice but I dont think I would pay 125 for it.

Thats pretty cool ZippZ, especially if you don't have several pairs of extra hands around to help you set teh sag.

I'm actually considering grabbing one of these.

Gonna have to do a bit more research on it before I do, though.

And if I do, I'll surely post up a write-up on it.

Will it compensate for stiction (sp)while you sit on the bike? Or at all? If not i'ts worthless...

I'm hoping to learn more. Gonna shoot ASV an email with questions.

Seems it would be useful if you can figure that out. I'm not sold on the price though..Look forward to the response.

Robert Morales from ASV was kind enough to respond to my inquiry with the following:

Sport bikes pose two major issues with using a sag scale especially our Solo Sag Scale

1. There is no place to mount the scale (Mainly a problem for our design)

2. There is no easy, practical way to lift the bike so the rear wheel hangs freely to measure rider sag. Static sag may be possible but rider sag is pretty much impossible as you need to lift the bike up in the air and let the rear wheel hang like a Motocross bike on a stand. The weight of a sportbike and the fact that there is no solid support under the bike makes that one nearly if not completely impossible.

Thanks,

Robert Morales
