Laxed out rides

[Spazm]

was'nt much fun having the RR continually step out on me when those showers came down checked me service records seem to have still managed 10000+ kms out of it FR still got a few kms in it but will change at the same time ( 12500km currently on FR ) May time new set for Te Anga run

Was good to see you come along for most of the ride anyway

[Leyton]

Yeah, that's what I am afraid of. Last thing I want is the bike handling even more pooy!

[Murray]

I would have thought Koz would have been in here by now?? From all accounts Speedtech sounds like the place to go!

[mister.koz]

People can make up their own minds, i have suggested many times to get together a handful of us and take bikes + pizza to speed tech on one arranged night so they can teach us a thing or two about setup and maintenance but the interest was a little small.

[Murray]

Mate, that second shot on the dock is pretty cool. Where'd you take that?

at the end of a dock, duh!!!!!!!

Come on Sidewinder get it right!! He didn't "take" the photo "at the end of the dock" He took it somewhere from the shore by the looks of it!!

hahah most of us didn't have bikes we could adjust. Anyone going to the HMCC training will get their bouncy parts checked and adjusted. I know I'm leaving mine 'til then to see what I learn/they do. I'm sick of getting my ass kicked off the seat when I hit a bump.

...and I don't wanna hear I should slow down for judder bumps. 80km/h is a perfectly acceptable speed to go over them.

There were plenty that could be adjusted

That would be my suggestion too, take your bike to a track training day and ask about suspension setup, take notes and get them to help you out.

just stand up on the pegs when you hit them. If you give it some gas as the front wheel hits it pops up beautifully too

it depends on what you like as well, i did the fork oil in the gixxer and found where it works.
if you want to, find a good quiet road, bring some tools, and we can work it how you want it.
you may find its easier to get what you want than you think.

If the cost is just pizza then fark! I'm in

On saturday I will be getting a little note book, winding my settings to all soft recording the number of clicks then setting them all back as a reference point.

Get some knowledge in my brain from speedtech would be a bonus. No offence to those who have recommended me a few ideas like backing off the suspension to full soft.. and working it hard.. that goes against what I feel is the right thing to do.. hehe I can see the nose diving out in the corners! hehe. I have a rough idea on how suspension works on a bike, just not practical experience. Speedtech sounds like the go

How much did it cost for them to look over your bike Adam ?

Yeah that could be the go too, but I think I am better off learning the eliteness and making slow progressive adjustments, keep the setting for 1 or 2 rides.

They are good people and they really know their stuff.

I think it would be best to give them a buzz (8478944) and ask them about costs for things and maybe get some advice from them when/if you want to do some stuff.
