    Forks bottoming out

    Had a wicked day at the Suzuki trackday yesterday and a big thanks to MotoTT and Suzuki.
    But since changing my riding position for the better i hope, have started getting the front bottoming out under brakes.
    Bike is a K6 GSXR1000 with stock suspension.
    Looking for advice, mods required to sort this out.
    Or where to go as its outside my expertise.
    Would also like rear sorted aswell.
    Bike and me are Hamilton based.
    Limited budget as usual and its a dedicated track bike.
    Thanks in advance for any help gained.

    suspension opportunities

    If you want the best bang for your buck, talk to Kerry Dukie at Dukic performance
    021715547
    he is wellington based and has very quick turn around on jobs. you wont be disapointed.

    Rob T is also a very good suspension tech, but i highly recc you ring around before handing over your readies.

    If you have concerns about price its fair to say that its not only about price, we will never be the cheapest and are not in the market to be so. But we do have 25 years experience in this game and counting and will not cut corners on the pretence of making a fast buck.
    We also ( and I know this to be 100% true ) offer more foc setup info than anyone else and if you ring me on 021 825514 Ill happily rattle off what adjustments to make all at no cost. ( will save me a lot of typing! )This would likely be a cost you have to incur elsewhere, so in the overall scheme of things I would have to unashamedly say we offer the best bang for buck.
    Also unashamedly, look at our track record ( on the tracks ) and on this site many times past offering solutions to issues that are often commercially protected.....

    hi robert spoke to greg boyd today and i will give you a call tomorrow to discuss options. stock wont cut it. set sags up and since have gone in three whole turns on front preload so something not happening the way it should. they need some of your magic inside. the extra support info you can give seems to outway saving a couple of dollars from what everyone says. look forward to talking tomorrow. brad
