I was not trying to boast. I did point out this was when Sam was just starting. It was an example of before an after the Swedish stuff went on the bike.

You and Deano keep focussing on the wrong part of the story though bro.

Yes, rider ability is definitely one of the main key components but BOLLOCKS to some of your ''reasoning''. 2 riders exactly the same speed on say SV650 protwin, 85kgs, same height. One has bog stock suspension. One has internal fork mods ( done well ) and a fully sorted rear aftermarket shock that also fully addresses the geometry issue of this commuter bike.

And we are talking riders who race most of the year and not just going for a Sunday cruise. Everyone knows the answer and also that you are very confused.

Good suspension ( that the rider is also educated about ) will make an average rider improve his laptime significantly more than would be the case with a top level rider.

If you want to ride around on stock suspension and are happy in that world then that is fine. There are people out there that sell suspension and thats it leave them to it. But a responsible supplier of such product will also assist the rider to understand how to get the best out of it. And yes that does take time

Hey Deano, do you want to refit your stock suspension and race with it at the Nationals against others with race suspension?

Ok, I will immediately ring the race deaprtment at Ohlins ( and K-Tech ), Race Tech, Penske etc and inform them that there is a guy in NZ running stock suspension that knows more than them.
The education system in NZ has been dumbed down ( its now alright to be mediocre rather than aspire to be the best ) Im guessing you are fully supportive of such mindless mentality.
Mediocrity is not something that I or many others aspire to, but if it suits you, FINE!

And to not put too fine a point on it Mr confused man the starter of this thread is having suspension control, spring rate choice and tyre issues. He is seeking improvement, I dont think that is unreasonable and Ive spent some time assisting him to understand ways to fix that and mindful of containing costs ( with NO OBLIGATIONS TO PURCHASE ANYTHING OFF ME ) via other media. Something productive and helpful to a racer rather than the stupid childish games you play on here.

SORRY GLENN IT WAS ME THAT WAS MINDLESS REPLYING TO YOUR POST RATHER THAN THE CHAMPION OF ALL THINGS MEDIOCRE!

yeah, agred slapped hand to us for getting off topic. The thread starter fully realises that you can improve on stock and also openly states that budget is important. If you dont ask you sure aint gonna get in life aye..

I wonder if there is a good setting to fix these out of control tank slapping suspension threads?

Yes, less rebound from those who have nothing productive and helpful to offer!

I wasn't having a dig. I thought you only raced the bike for 2 meetings and never saw you up against Sam obviously.
