: Suspension Setup for a big bloke....... armstrongn 03-11-2005, 01:49 PM I have just bought a new 2005 R6.... but it is setup in bungy mode... I am 6ft and weight 16st + kit... do you people have any suggestions as to how I should have the suspension setup. this is for front and back. ImPo Skyline 03-11-2005, 05:47 PM I'm 6.0' and 170. I have left my front dampers alone, I lowerd the forks about .75". The rear I'm set up as 4th click from top on rate, and kept stock bound/rebound settings. Keep in mind I ride canyons. armstrongn 03-12-2005, 01:01 PM 170lb is about 12st... I weigh about 224lb.. so any more idea or suggestions ( apart from loose weight fat arse ) andysr6 03-18-2005, 04:57 AM I am surprised you find the bike so soft, i also have an 05 R6 ( my 4th R6) and find this one to be a lot firmer than previous models and i think the standard set up is excellent for my 14.5 tonnage. With a new bike it is always worth checking the suspension is set correctly at the factory as i have found they sometimes are not. 06-24-2005, 11:17 AM 170lb is about 12st... I weigh about 224lb.. so any more idea or suggestions ( apart from loose weight fat arse ) My first post here, just bought my first R6, an hour ago, 02 model, 7,000k on the clock, goes great, but, loved the humour mate, you must be english!! happy riding fella, and not fat, just nicely rounded.... burnrubber 06-25-2005, 04:36 AM i have a washboard stomach...................... i just have a load of laundry on it now | ||
