    lol at the amazing advice people are giving in regard to my sexuality, then abusing me, pot, kettle, black.

    enzoyug, this is a great resource for setting up your bike, you'll need 2 or 3 people to help you with it but most people dont have their suspension setup anyway so you can sort of help each other out and do everyones bike.

    the measurements in that guide though are what they "should" be set to, if you feel the bike is uncomfortable or wallows then you can go outside the bounds, once you've done the guide though it's actually a good idea to pack a screw driver and go for a ride, find a nice corner and do the same corner a few times making adjustments.

    as with all adjustments though write down how you've got it now so you can always go back, be very careful when adjusting your dampning, go very slowly, too fast and the torque will snap the wee pin, also adjust in 2s, this way the effects of your change are more noticable, if something is too soft/hard try going back 1 click.

    if you still cant get it right, best to talk to a specialist about cutting springs, adding stoppers, changing fluids (and their viscosity) etc but you shouldn't have to go that far.

    I guess not everyone has been blessed with the mentors I've got....but im still right, the maths is easy :P

    edit: that not the source I usually use, for doing the front preload/static sag do the same as he does for the rear, but on the front,

    Einstein's laws, eh!

    Yep, that's the good thing about having a Gixxer that can travel at close to the speed of light: the Doppler effect means that red lights appear green, and you can only be stopped by a cop with a degree in quantum mechanics.

    Sweet!
