  |
|
ok peeps, loads of questions re suspension settings, I've found my little black book so here goes:
GSXR600 k1,k2,k3
standard
rear shock:
preload 10mm thread showing
rebound 1.5 turns out from full in
compression 1.25 turns out from full in
front forks
preload 3 rings showing
rebound 1.25 turns out from full in
compression 1 tuen out from full in
suggested settings
rear:
preload standard
rebound 1/4 turn out from full in when cold(if it gets too hot turn fully in)
compression standard
front forks:
preload 1 ring showing
rebound 1/2 turn out from full in
compression 1/2 turn out from fully in
These are based on 11 stone rider and are only a guide as everyone's tatse is different!
GSXR 750 98-99
suggested settings
rear shock
static sag 6mm(4mm if two up)
preload set to give 10mm of unused piston stroke
compression 2.25 turns
rebound 1-1.25 turns
front forks
static sag 25mm
compression 1.5 turns
rebound 1.75 turns
fork heigh 3mm above yoke
preload 2 rings
GSXR 750 2000-2003
standard settings
rear
preload 10mm of thread above top locking ring
rebound 1.25 turns out from fully in
compression 1 turn out from fully in
front forks
four rings showing
rebound 1.25 turns out from fully in
compression 1turn out from fully in
suggested settings
rear
preload 15mm of thread showing above top locking ring
rebound 3/4 turn out from fully in
compression 1.25 turns out from fully in
front forks
preload 2 rings showing
rebound 1.5 turns out from fully in
compression 3/4 turn out from fully in
GSXR 1000 2001-2002
standard
rear shock
pre load 21mm of thread showing
rebound 1.5 turns out from fully in
compression 1.25 turns out from fully in
front forks
preload 4 rings showing
rebound 1.25 turns out from fully in
compression 2.5 turns out from fully in
suggested settings
rear shock
preload standard
rebound 1/2 turn out from fully in
compression fully turned in
front forks
preload 1 ring showing
rebound 1/4 turn out from fully in
compression 1/2 turn out from fully in
OK hope this is of some use to somebody, some of the settings may be a bit harsh for everyday road work as they are based on track settings but what works for me might not work for you.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT WHAT YA DOING LEAVE IT TO AN EXPERT!! |

Does anypne know how to alter rear preload on a 1000K3? looks like a special tool job, also where and what do you measure ie to set at 22mm?
Cheers, ash |

I had my K3 1000 done by the man at Oulton, didn't quite "transform" the bike but it's definately better. And he offered full follow up advice if I am not happy with it on the road, all I have to do is ring him and he will go through it with me.
I will dig out the spec sheet he gave me and post up what he set it up as. |

| Anyone tinkered with the K6 750? Rumblings of a raised rear improving the package? |

At our trackdays at Cadwell last week, I had mine set up by Mick Grant(Yes...THE Mick Grant)
OK, It cost me £40, But it made one hell of a difference!
It completely changed the handling of the bike.....Made me a lot more confident .........
Cheers Mick..... |

| Can anyone advise me of any useful settings for an SV650?. I'm 13 1/2 stone. I've tried fiddling but ended up making it worse!. So any information would be very helpful |

Hi gixxernick,have just been asked by a mate if i would ask you guys for some settings.He has a 2002 GSXR600 and he bought a GSXR2003/4 Penske shock off of fleabay.it fitted ok but he has tried setting it up but cant get a setting he is happy with. It's good on Motorways and Dual carriageways,but go on a back road and it tries to throw you out of the seat.He is 12 and a half stone.He says it's got a 475 lb/inch spring,high comp,low comp,rebound and ride height settings.Can you give him any advice.I hope all this makes sense to you,if you need more info i'll try and get it for you.Cheers,motley  |

 A fully adjustable Penske with that much adjustment is gonna be a bitch to set up for road use especially if you don't know what settings are already dialled into it. I would suggest (no disrespect to tha NickDogg) a visit to a set-up specialist......i find meself in the same boat with a re-built TechnoFlex race shock from a race bike, which i'm gonna take to Revs Racing in Halesowen and get some direction. I don't know how the previous owner had it set-up, and i've got a feeling it was set up specifically for Mallory. The problem is if it isn't set up to a compromise your mate is gonna end up with totally shagged tyres after 200 miles, and a dry cleaners bill for the skids in his leathers.
I've also got a sneaking suspicion that earlier K Gixers had different suspension linkages to the K4 onwards, and different geometry. Whilst it might fit, it doesn't mean it will work as it should do.
You should have seen DirkDigglers rear tyre before he got his Ohlins set-up properley, it was totally f**ked on the right side after a day at Mallory.
Its the one downside to getting a race shock for decent price...... 
Just a thought mate, saw the post and thought i'd stick me beaky in  |
