    Suspension guru needed

    the other half has a new ride .. GSXR600 with ohlins rear..

    Problem is it's a little to tall for her and she's afraid of dropping it as she can't get both feet on the ground.

    Is there anyone, or anyplace we can take the bike to get it sorted?? .. i would like to get the bike dialed in for her.

    Talk to Robert Taylor. He's one of the country's leading Ohlins dealers and technicians. He's based in Taranaki but I'm sure he will help you out. I wouldn't expect him to do it for nothing but he is very obliging and committed to people having their bikes properly set up.

    it should have a ride height adjuster

    not much but migh thelp

    check out - http://www.ohlins.com/Motorcycle/Set...9/Default.aspx

    Best bet would get the shock out and out to robert taylor for a good service (espially if no idea when lasted service) and a correct spring for her weight, and he can adjust it to lower it a touch

    what year gsxr?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
