    Christchurch: I need help setting up suspension

    Does anyone here know where in Christchurch I can get Ohlins suspension adjusted? I've got these thingies on my bike but have no clue what they are or what to do with them. The top pic is something that is just above the rear shock. I have been told all the Ohlins gear is not a standard feature of the bike.

    You could pm Robert Taylor,he is very helpful with giving advice
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    The front suspension looks standard. It's got Yoshi steering thing as well.

    I'm loving the gixxer, it arrived 3 days ago. It has enough power to scare me, and enough power to make the front wheel feel quite light in 2nd gear. I still have to get used to the power because I went straight from a CBR250 to the GSXR600, but shit it's fun!

    well a rear ohlins shock is a sweet enough bonus since u got the bike pretty cheap! good luck with the suspension set up. I just took it to the track during a club race day and had a pom set it up a bit for me. Suspension shit is tricky, static sag and rebound this and compression that.. Alot to learn.

    Enjoy the bike! and the adrenalin

    suprised you saw anything at the speed and closness I passed you at... fuck man you are slow, didnt mean to get so close in the hills when I passed ya just that I came around the bend and you were there, my bad, beter pass later on down the straights, but surley you can go faster than 80k

    Ok so Ohlins is what I have, piss a piss really as long as its in good condition, lets have a look and get you out of 2nd gear.
