Bit of a bummer as far as I'm concerned, with a lucky start I could hang with the CBRs in a sprint race on my 50. No chance if they are faster & I'm probably slower at the moment. No chance of finishing my 100 for the BOB.

Dont worry about getting your 100 ready for BOB, I got a whole cage full of them , you are welcome to one !

What's up with the suspension in the first video of the FZR? It looks to be near to bottomed out.

Interesting, hadn't noticed that, we have to brake pretty hard this end of the drive and its a little down hill too.

We measured it and with the forks poking through the top of the triple clamps it bottoms out when the dust seals just touch the underside of the lower clamp.

The suspension does rise up again as he enters the workshop.

Original springs to soft???? not enough oil, sure does not look right, thanks for pointing it out.

I notice that on the 16th of June, (two days before this post...... you seemed unaware that you had a front end spring problem.....) you advertised in the "bucket parts wanted" thread that you where looking for some FZR twofiddy forks because "you needed some uncut fork springs"...... you have posted some "FACTS" on suspension in this thread, am I to assume that you have fucked up with your calculations, and shortened the springs too much, thereby needing replacement springs?....if that is correct, should we disregard all your posts on fork geometry?

Your welcome.

It's just in the interests of accuracy.

Some people follow this thread in the hope of building a fast bucket, and if some information is wrong, it is prudent to mention it.

There is no malice in my posts.
