I'm having some real issues with my suspension on my bike to the point I've lost pretty much all my confidence in my riding. The bike is very bumpy in the corners. I've tried reverting the settings to stock and even tried to learn about how the suspension works :blink:

I've finally come to the conclusion that I'm just going to have to fork out some $$ and get professional help.

So, can anyone recommend someone in Christchurch who will be able to set up my bike properly (who isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg)?

Thanks

I'm not saying professional help isn't the way to go but there are a million websites and forums for just about every bike with databases of suspension settings. If the thing is as dangerous as it sounds they might be able to offer some improvement until you can get to an expert.

Here's a more reputable one from the States:
http://www.sportrider.com/bikes/146_street_bike_suspension_settings/index.html

Bear in mind these are probably based on suspension being in close to new condition and yours will be well worn after 8 years.
