I wouldn't make fun of what jim2 said....he is right...most bad handling traits should be able to be tuned out with proper setup and adjustment...getting balance front to rear correct...along with ladden geometry.

I suppose you have being playing cricket longer than stephen flemming too....

Does that make you better than him?

I know your trying to get me to bite dangerous...good on ya...

just remeber....you don't know me.

and just for the record...what is wrong with a KR1-s 250...I'm asuming you have owned one? I've owned alot of bikes and it would have been one of my favorites...I'm just curious?

LMFAO...... cant be fuked with cricket, bite ya wee fuker
I know you dont you worry..... its a small world
you asume correct well almost had a new KR250 brought it the same time as a mate brought a GPZ600 new they cost the same.... thems were the days KR v MVX v RG V RZ

[cowpoos]

Yep the KR1 was one of my fav's.... till it shit its third set of power valves and I pushed it up a friken hill to my house....again.
Traded that bastard on a CBR...

errr...yeah....power valves...erm...they.....were...ummm....annoyingly problematic...always in a stupid place....hmmm

Cbr250rr or cbr400rr???

I don't know about the 250...but I had a cbr400rr...man that was a brillent handling bike...you just needed to think corner and you were half way around it...had such a planted front end...and stable...nothing fazed that chassis.

I know you dont you worry..... its a small world

No... dont think I ever did, looked shit hot tho

[cowpoos]

I fitted these stickers to my sons bike but the suspension was still way too hard.

Hmmm....those trikes roll easy too....it might need a suzuki sticker on the tank to balance things out a bit...lol

When that happens to my boy, I prefer them term "Highside".
It's normally after a high speed run down the hall from his bedroom, across the tiles in the dining room to the carpeted area in the lounge. It is the transition from the slippy tiles to the grippy carpet that will...if there is any sideways action, cause the highside to occur. Luckily an LCM bar rectifies the situation.
He is learning to either keep the slippy action or straighten up before the carpet.

lol...hard case

I'll send ya boy a bottle of rasberry pop when he gets his knee down!

How old is you lad? getting close to bicycle age?

[cowpoos]

He's just turned two.. a bicycle for Christmas all going well.

good stuff...can't start them too early....I was started early....I got my first bicycle at two and a bit...lol..was my brothers birthday lol...and first motorbike at 3...lawnmower engine with no brakes...hell it was fun...

Soooo........... SuzyQ, what you have learnt tonight is to slow down when riding the R6 across the tiles in the dining room to the carpeted area in the lounge, safety 1st so beter buy 10 dampers, Jims always right, I live on the Main north rd somewere and when you get a knee down CP will get you a bottle of rasberry pop, KR's need dampers CBR's dont and 46 posts/4 pages later and you have no idea if you should get a damper or not..... LMFAO its late I'm out a here :spudwave:

[**R1**]

And if that doesn't work put a steering damper on it to disguise the poor handling (must be ohlins of course)

how is that nth canturbury weather....I miss my quik rips in to rangiora via the coldstream oad/tulls road GP circut...

can't beat cant weather for riding I reckon!!!

Only been living her 7 years and still have no idea where those roads are perhaps I should look at some road signs, they took big the hump out on Island road near the bridge though which has made it more boring

[Kickaha]

...I feel some what dumber..

You look it to

[Mooch]

believe me mate when I say...I'm not full of myself....
my first off on a motorbike was on a kawasaki KR1-s 250...was going quite slow...cruzing along following a mate on a srx250...going around a corner and I casually adjusted my line to avoid some road kill....wasn't a quike flick around it or anything just casual as can be...next thing...lock to lock slap...over the handle bars...land on my shoulder...bike runs over my arm...slide in to a fence...

if I had a damper on that bike...I probally would of just had a fright and carried on...

ain't nessacerly got any thing to do with being a superbike racer on the road!

Having owned a Kr1 for about 12 years and ridden an R6 I'd say that neither need a steering damper for road use. Jim2 is spot on about setup and I think adding one would detract from it's excellent steering response. Steering dampens aren't great in heavy stop start traffic either. I'd spend the money on riding courses if it was mine.
