HI
I have just bought a 98 GSXR750 and the owener befor me dident know how to set it up so im spending a lot of time using the trial&error method to get the shocks working for me.
Has anyone been through this befor on the same bike and have some tips for me thanks?
Also what tyres to use?

PM death_inc he has the same model and his is set up pretty good.

As for tyres use what ya can afford I say. Personal preferance.

Get an owners manual and reset the suspenders bach to original. Fit Metzeler Racetec tyres and get yourself along to Puke for a test day and fuck around with suspension there. There's no golden setting to use as everyones different. Standard is pretty good for most folk. I used to have a WP750 one of my all time favourite bikes.

Hi Can

Hook up with the tauranga guys for a good chat, suspension/bull-hit and some good rides as well.:spudbooge

I got Diablo Corsers at the mo, great in the dry, but I find them abit squirrely in the wet.

As for suspension I just mucked around with it till felt right.

All in all a great bike! And being a 98 ya bike will be injecteed to aye??

Enjoy.

Stick with a 190 rear.
Do what jimbo said,start from the stock settings and tutoo....
Put a spacer in the top shock mount to raise the rear by 15mm (about 5mm spacer) it really helps.
If ya can afford it, new oil front and rear is prolly due.
