I have a k4 thou and weigh 75kg.....i'm a shit rider admitidly. However i wondered if i might have a little more confidence with different settings and how much difference weight makes when setting up suspension......does anyone know?

Idjits. Mrs H rides a K4 and the front suspension can't be adjusted.

[Sensei]

Stock settings are based on 90+kg riders . so may be abit stiff for you weight . Body weight does come into the story but any late model Sports bike has more than enough adjustment to sort out this . A well set up front end is the most important thing for me on a bike then you can play with the back to fine tune the balance of the bike to your riding skill

She rides a k4 what. A gsxr 1000 k4 has adjustment on the top of the forks via screws and similarly at the base of the forks

I THINK YOULL FIND STOCK SETTINGS ARE FOR THE AVERAGE 60KG JAPPANESE MALE RIDER

[Sensei]

To stiff for that WINJA All NZ bikes are 90+kgs this is why most people leave them standard as this is a general average weight.

Exactly my point. People whack on about K3 this and K4 that when it's a generic Suzuki age delimiter rather than a model. They should know better. Or maybe not -- they probably don't know their arse from their apostrophe either. Sigh...

Mrs H's K4, by the way, is a VZ800. So was her K3.

KEEP THE STOCK TYRES , LEAVE THE PREASURES AT 36/40 SET THE STATIC SAG AT ABOUT 30 MM FRONT AND BACK , USE STOCK COMP AND REBOUND SETTINGS, RIDE FASTER TILL THE REAR SLIDES START TO DROP PREASURES, YOU MAY GO AS LOW AS 33/35 OR SO .
CHECK HEAD BEARINGS AND SWING ARM BEARINGS REGULARLY.

I would have thought that an engineer and martial artist would have had a diligent interest in excellence that extended to other endeavours. I suppose nobody "told" you how to any of that stuff...
