I am baby sitting a brand new K4 (2004 SUZUKI GSXR 1000cc K4C) <------ for those that arnt sure WTF I'm wanking on about.
Im about 90kg and like a bike to feel hard, which is how I find the std settings of the K4, so that might be too stiff for the avarage rider, 6PB try softening it up a tad.

CHECK HEAD BEARINGS AND SWING ARM BEARINGS REGULARLY.

Talking of front ends,i have a K4 gixxer,its new but it appears to me the triple clamp is slightly of centre to the right,would only be a mm or so but it has me curious,could the wheel be offset?the forks seem straight as you would expect with new bike.Any other explanations apart from getting my eyes checked?

It better not be your eyes mate - not with your job !!!

Sixpackback - I'd leave yours on stock settings, the biggest thing you can do is run good tyres (which you are) and keep an eye on your pressures, it never hurts to check em before each ride. You're getting quicker each time i see you so keep it up(right) mate.

The front on the K3/K4 has to much Compression & preload which makes it skip when push hard on its side & bump steers in Town Not for me . Have put together some mint settings from 8 months road testing round here ..
