It looks more like the suspension is not set up right to me, rather than cold tearing.born green wrote:[q thats either cold tear, or to soft a setup in the rear!!! but thats just my thorts, without seeing the tyre in the flesh.

Re: Getting your knee down
Thats was my 1st thort to nelso, thats what i mentioned to stu when he 1st put up piks,
Looks like not enough spring preload, comp. bit of both??
Thinks he is going to set up sags ect now, as u kno, that will make a world of difference.
Depends on how much track work stu going to do, but maybe a re spring ect.
Waiting to hear how he goes with sag setup.

Getting your knee down
I have just started on the front. I dialed it all the way out, so now I'm just checking the sag for my weight, approx 88kg.
Born Green, it sounds as though we of similar stature. I'm also six foot, three but I'm a little concerned as to whether this bike is too small for me....I'll give you an update once I've adjusted both the front and rear and been for a test ride.

Getting your knee down
Hey stu why not start with the kawasaki/experts recommended settings for our bike and make changes from there if you feel the need, I did it that way and am very happy, Glen and Chris did the same with their 6 tracky.
I've had new fork oil put into the front was well worth it after 3 years and close to 30,000k. Will investigate doing the same to the rear at some stage.
