Suspension reconfiguration.
Thu Apr 29, 2004 12:41 am
A great mechanic from Team Kawasaki gave me some advice regarding suspension settings:
Apparently the easiest way to adjust your suspnesion settings (dealing simply with Preload here) is to set both fronts and rear to their softest settings, then hit the public roads for normal day to day riding, and adjust it as you go. Then go hard on the faster streets and adjust.
Then when you get to the track days, take it slow at first and gradually build up speed and adjust accordingly.
Sensible enough, I thought.
Did this, and now the bike feels a whole lot better around corners!! Couldnt believe the difference!

If u'r not convinced another option is the following link:

and follow the suspension links.
