Reccomended Suspension Settings

[Bruce Bohannon]

Y'all know of any recommended suspension settings (or article pointers) for a stock suspended 08 for someone about 200 lbs with gear?  Preferred riding is street or twisties (not a dragstrip type question - but if you had that handy....)


Thanks in advance!

Bruce,  did you ever find any info on this?

Bruce...I know SportRider magazine has suggested settings for the 08, they are probably for a 180 rider, but it would at least be a start.

But...the very first thing you need to do is set your sag for your weight on the front forks and rear.  Follow this article.

I added 1 click of rebound in the rear and it made a huge difference as my front end was not staying planted,I was getting a wollow in high speed turns and instability,which is not a characteristic of a busa,never had the problem with any of my Gen 1's,I only wieght 170.
