Phill burgess at the bike clinic on kapiti rd is a bit of a genius when it comes to setup !

In all fairness you do need to be aware that there is only so much that can be done with the external clickers and spring preload. If for instance you will be doing track days on the R6 and pushing along at a good pace you will find that the compression clickers end up being pretty much maxed inwards, and even at that you will still screw the tyres quickly.
That then means that either the internals of the stock suspension need reworking ( and perhaps a spring change ) or replacement.

Phil does alot of dirt stuff as Sinful says and for the R6 I think Kerry Dukie still does road /track bikes (TDC on here) I did see him at Manfeild last weekend helping out , so I'm guessing he is still doing it? Gaz.

Ben at TSS in the Hutt is damn good at suspension but like anything you need to know what you want.
