Hello Mod Creators!

The bike support in LFS is definitely EXPERIMENTAL but it's important to set up the steering and suspension correctly.

It can be tricky, so I've recorded a video, edited by Leo, to help with setting up the rear suspension (easy) and front suspension (not so easy).

I hope the explanation is useful and removed some of the mystery!

Maybe there should be one official experimental bike, so the modders can use it as reference.

What would be the result if you ran a motorcycle without a sufficient rake? Would it shake about like a speed wobble?

This is weird but,

I set my ffb wheel axis backwards and the range to -110 and 110 and tilted it up like handlebars.

Then I set the steering lock to 12*. And suddenly I could Ride. But the cornering speed was awful, a stock xrg could go faster than a 180lb bike on slicks.

Then I decided to add a “wing” about 3-4 meters underground with side drag of max.

Then it felt a lot more real.

Then I added a battery about 1.5 meters in the air and it felt right.

Odd indeed
