Suspension settings - Ward P - 29-01-2009 Had my suspension looked at at the Phillip Island ride day last Monday. WOW! What a difference! S.W. Racing did the setup, and tweaked throughout the day, trying to get a good balance between good for the track, but not too hard for the road. I stated that I do mostly road riding. My print out just arrived by post, as they promised it would. And it got me wondering, what setting do most people run, or like me from before, do you just ride and assume it's ok? My stats: I'm about 82kg(wringing wet out of the shower) Stock '99 busa End result: front fork travel: 94 travel left: 35 Rear Top out 444 Static sag: 431 13 Rider sag: 412 32 Preload L/comp 7 Rebound 11 Not too sure if it means anything to anyone, but if you are playing and get lost it's probably not a bad place to start. Heidi also had her suspension done on the day, almost same bike, lighter pipe, so I'm wondering what the magic numbers that they came up for you are Heidi? RE: Suspension settings - BUSGO - 29-01-2009 Good info there Ward. A lot would depend on how fresh the oil was or is. RE: Suspension settings - Ward P - 29-01-2009 BUSGO Wrote:Good info there Ward.

Pretty fresh - couldn't be more than 9 years old! -never been looked at (The accompanying letter suggests a service every 12 months or 30 hours track riding.) RE: Suspension settings - Heidi1 - 29-01-2009 Mine arrived in the post today as well, they really gave good service! Am happy as larry with my suspension, they were clucking their tongues and waggling their eyebrows at me in horror at the settings I had, so these are a big improvement. I'd just been tinkering and I guess I must have gotten lost. Good to have someone who knows what they are doing have a bash. Am very impressed, I'll post my results tomorrow. RE: Suspension settings - greenb5 - 30-01-2009 On my K8 I have these settings for a more solid feel all round and less wallowing thru the corners. Fr. Comp. - 3 clicks in (clockwise) from stock (harder) Fr. Rebound - 1 click in from stock Rear Comp - 2 clicks in from stock Rear Rebound - stock Stock preload front and back, but I'm tuning into a fat f**k lately so I may have to add some. Well, either that or take up smoking again.
