Ohlins rear, racetech front, road bike that does some trackdays

[Devil]

The OEM fitment on my bike is WP... So I selected OEM.

You again!
Out to survey the WonderfulWorldOfBikes?
Got yer statistical data engine sorted out to critically analyse the data?


The VFR has a an Elka rear shock, and Showa front end (apart from the springs - they're Sonic). Next year I hope to get some GoldValves or similar in the front.

I'm sorry to say that I have a fairly tired OEM shock on the 'bird. It would have had a new Penske on it by now but I ordered one from Shaun Harris and it never arrived due to all the pressures he's been under recently. Still, no major harm done and I'll import one directly before the weather warms up.

Ohlins FGK cartridges in the front, TTX 36 rear. Occasional trackdays, mostly road riding

First get use to the R6 :2guns:

[Subike]

the rear shocks are red, they come in a box ,dont leak oil and have stopped the bouncing in the corners the old OME ones caused.
The front?
still bounce! leak oil, but new seals going in soon
:eek5:

[Skunk]

Where's the OEM but adjusted in settings and oils etc?

I also forgot homemade solid struts. Just pick whatever you thinks closest Skunkman.

You shouldn't be turning any of those screws on an OEM shock unless you have a university degree.

Have OEM suspension on my bike which I have dialled in for spirited road riding.
In fact, with them adjusted as they are, I have no issues when pushing hard. They do all I need them to do with comfort. :)

[Renegade]

my suspension sucks, its adjustable OEM so i may have to go see Mr Taylor to sort it :hug:

[F5 Dave]

ok, what if your suspension is both WP & Ohlins but it is OEM? (ok that's my GasGas but you get the point). But even that has been revalved.

ok road; what if my OEM japanese (yamaha) Ohlins has been modified with a Ohlins shimstack & aftermarket fork kits in the OEM forks? . . . And then what if I've only done trackdays before the modification? But on which bike? My race ones I've never done any track days.

I'm so confoosed. . .:weep:

[DEATH_INC.]

I got one, mine is oem but not for my bike......SRAD but with K3 thou rear arm and shock, linkages etc and srad fork outers with a mix of srad and K3 insides, with a bit of valving changes thrown in..... Plus it's goes on the road, done trackdays and been raced :rolleyes:

[DEATH_INC.]

And ( nearly forgot ) the turbo has FZR arm (modded ) and forks and a WP rear shock, not been to a trackday but been dragraced.... :crybaby:

"Please select the option that most applies to you."

I think the word "most" is key here. You can decide if you consider the suspension on you bike is more aftermarket than OEM. The point of the poll was just to get a general idea of the numbers.

As for trackdays I think it would be easy to know if your've ever done any. Trackdays generally mean the person is wanting to improve their riding so/and may be more inclined to put performance enhancements on their bike. Does the poll does reflect this? I'm confused too!
