Thinking of modifying the Gixxer.

Yup, compression, rebound, and preload.

[edit] Doh it was late, no the std steering damper isn't adjustable. Thought you were talking about the shock...[/edit]

Sensei, will let you know what I think after I've fitted it all. Cheers mate.

Hey, some of us were born like that, don't be so insensitive eh??

The standard one (steering damper) isn't adjustable, and is unbelievably ghey considering it's relative youth. Sounds pretty squishy :/

I knew you wouldn't be unhappy with the gear dude . Those Steering dampers or worth every Penny as is the shock !!

Some pics. (Going back out to the track Tuesday hence why I've left the slicks on.)

Looking sweet there OAB.

What's next on the list? Wheels?

Oh and are you doing anything about the forks or are they fine as is?

**onearmedbandit** · 1st September 2006, 21:15

Forks are definately on the 'to-do' list, however it means taking the bike off the road for a couple of weeks while they get rebuilt, and I just can't commit to that sort of bike free period at the moment! Should've done it over the winter, but I was still using it everyday.

Yeah bummer and its not like you could just get a cheap hack as the mods you need prob take time and money as well!

Look forward to after the tues test report!
