    I rode Andrew Forwards GSXR600 with K-Tech and was impressed with it.

    I haven't used Ohlins cartridges before so I can't compare them but for what it's worth the braking was unbelievably good and also very good over the sharp bumps at Manfeild such as through turn 2 and splash.

    We spent the weekend setting up the bike for me and every change made the bike noticeably better and my lap times improved in every session.

    Some people don't get on with Dukie and that's fine but at the end of the day, he knows how to set up a bike and K-Tech is well proven.

    So how do you explain the length of the back straight ( and some ) deficit to the winning rider in your class after only 6-8 laps? The winning rider being on Ohlins and a selection of worn tyres all weekend. I noted that at one point you were out on new tyres.
    Have you checked out WSS600 Monza results? Ohlins 1,2,3.
    K-Tech is indeed a very good product but it is not the holy grail bolt in and go that its painted up to be, it still needs work ( just like Ohlins ) and already we have recieved work from customers disenchanted with the service and ( no aplogies for saying this ) the brazen bullshit.
    What I particularly have issue with is where is the distinction between bullshit and outright brazen lies?
    As Maido correctly pointed out John Ross fiddles with his suspension all the time to get the best out of it. Be It Ohlins or K-Tech.

    Has anyone else noticed, that Mr King's signature on the KSS logo looks like a penis?

    So how did Dan justify his poor race form at Taupo nationals? Was the bike really that slow prior to having ''1 and a half seconds per lap '' bolted in?

    Did he run a stock rear shock because it was ''better'' than aftermarket options available to him incl K-Tech?

    Pretty sure you've got the wrong guy. Stoner has a minter wife and a child. The guy that's riding Stoners old bike is riding it like a poof, has a boyfriend and no children.

    I thought it was a scribbled signature, but having had the kiwi pointed out, I can see that now.

    Is that good on an 7-8 minute lap?
    I imagine you could get that gain by purely farting half-way round.

    Took you 30 minutes this time, getting a bit slow there old fella?

    Jaden has had a year to set that bike up and he just rode better than me. Could he go just as quick on K-Tech? Probably, maybe he could go quicker.
    Slag off the competition as much as you want but it only reflects badly on you.

    Maybe Im busy earning a living.......................

    Take note that I havent slagged off the product , quite the opposite. Like all products it requires credible and responsive backup and I really resent the marketing folly that is going on ''youll never have to revalve'' That is proving to not be the case and technicians that I am in contact with overseas also confirm that.

    Jadens bike is a work in progress and has only been in Supersport form for a very short time as he missed most of the Nationals, we are still messing with settings and geometry. The bike you are riding has had a lot more time on track but Im struggling to understand that it should be 1 and a half seconds per lap slower than what you were doing if you removed K-TEch and fitted something else???????????? Thats a marketing line that I have heard often. Please explain??????
