    Seeking professional suspension setup advice in Wgtn area

    I've been playing with the front suspension setup on my busa for more than two weeks now and I can't get it right. I can't stop the front end from bouncing up and down or shaking vertically (depending on how soft or hard is the suspension set).

    After trying dozens of configurations, I have decided I need professional advice. Does anybody know a good suspension specialist in Wgtn area?

    Read that a few times bro ! The bike will be OKish from factory settings ! Did you write them down or go get yourself lost like i did ?

    You will get lots of advise on KB, can't say if it'll be all good or all bad, read it, cypher it, take a dump and see what comes out the other end ! I'll run with DB and say his advise is the best !!!!

    You say shaking vertically ! Is that like shuddering ? horizontal would be head shake ! Bit lost with that comment !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !
