Suspension Tuning

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!!

Yep. Although you might only be able to adjust the front forks a bit. Unless you weigh 220 to 240 lbs you won't get anywhere with the rear. Sad to say but it's true.  To make the rear work anything like it really should you will need to replace the shock with something like an Ohlins or Penske that is sprung for your weight. 

I've read that it's pretty much the same with the standard Streetfighter...

I need to adjust the rear suspension on my 750.  Figure I might as well do it while it's in my shop.  I weigh 220lbs, so...it's a bit soft.  These videos shed some light on the subject, to me suspension tuning seems like voodoo.  The one thing doing myself that makes me nervous on the bike...

Rick and I have been working on suspension a lot lately.  We can help you tune yours some time if you want.  Just FYI: Rick is more adept than I am.

I warn you guys that suspension work is a slippery slope.

It sure is.  You will turn wrenches on your and be happy.  Then  Rick (aka The Don) will have you ride his bike.  Then you will be writing checks to Dan Kyle...

I think I know what you're getting at, but what I'm after is just setting my bike up for my weight, etc...if it turns out that it's no better than when it was delivered, then so be it as I'll not be opting for a new a new spring and an Ohlins this and that...

Just you wait.  Who was it that said they were not interested in an aftermarket exhaust for a streetfighter?

Did I say that?... ...if I did it was only because the $1800 Termi slip-ons were the only ones available at the time...

We can set your basics as good as the bike will allow. Then, after that's done,  you decide how badly you want any further work or not. Easy peasy.

will 2 6packs be enough while we play with my suspension or should i just get a case to be safe?
