    Best place for suspension setup in Wellington?

    I recently got a new bike and am wanting to get the suspension setup correctly for me and was wondering if anyone can recommend someone in Wellington to take it to?

    Your place with the help of a mate or two !

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    The forks in those VTR are very crude & although you've just splashed out money for a new bike be aware that external clicker adjustment isn't going to improve their action much & harshness over stutter bumps won't be improved. Paying money to look at that is a bit of a waste. Fun bike but hampe5ed by accountants choosing suspension parts. 'Fully adjustable' is a misnomer.

    Uprated Racetech parts would be nice if you got a decent deal on the bike & want to enjoy it more. Best time to invest is for the longest part of ownership. ie now.
    CKT are only a courier bag away & you will see Roberts posts on this site.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Sheeeesh man...the guy didn't say he wanted to go GP racing, merely get it 'set up' better for him I'd say.

    fitting pistons that will actually flow oil instead of hydraulic locking will make it a better road bike able to absorb bumps. That is the issue with the vtr and no-one said anything about racing

    With all respect I was just stating whats actually wrong with the bike. External adjustments will achieve little as fundamentally the internals are very basic and will semi hydraulic lock over bumpy surfaces.

    Robert...I'm sure you're a good bloke. Lots of people here and in real life say you are. I personally don't know you, nor you me. But you really need to get out more. Just because I stated that the VTR owner only wanted to set his suspension up, and didn't need it to be GP spec due to F5 Daves post, doesn't mean you need to jump on it...and any other thread/post about suspension and take it so seriously/personally. Lighten up.

    Moderator's Note.

    And lets leave that at that please. If anyone else has advice to offer go ahead but leave the arguments to another thread. Or not at all.

    As there are no sidecar threads at the moment this will have to do.

    The best place to go in Wellington is in New Plymouth.

    Stop taking the piss Deano.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Why don't you come by Wellington Motorcycles when you get a moment, ask for me (Pete), I'll happily come out and have a wee look at you VTR, spend some time sussing out what it is you like/don't like about it, and see what we may be able to do for you?
