Well, i figured since my 750 is claimed to be the same weight as a 600 but obviously has more power than a 600 but not as much as a 1000 but they all use the same suspension i would ask to see if anyone had a good baseline and tweek from there. Yeah, those articles are great but you cant ask them questions, thats the point of forums isnt it? to learn and share info?

It gives you somewhere good to start. But, there are somethings that can't be done on a forum. So, go do it... ride it and get feel... then report back

I'll tell you what, I had my suspension fitted to me and I hated it. So much so that I changed it back. So, there is something to be said for your own feel. Some will argue that point with me...

*sigh*

No, you won't teach me how to do it... I already know how to do mine, and the side of your argument for your own section could start here if I tell you how EASY it is to do mine. I know you don't want to hear that.

FWIW, I didn't pay him, he works for me.

I took pictures of my set up, so I could put it back where it was.

I stood there and talked to him about each step he was doing and why he was doing it. THAT is more golden that what I could have gotten off a forum.

A few of us told you to get a manual - Buy one... or, how about this: http://www.carlsalter.com/motorcycle-manuals.asp And go download yours. With the stock settings... get a spanner wrench for your rear shock. The likelyhood of that being changed is slim, as most will mess with the forks, but not the rear.

BTW, what do you weigh?

from everything I've read... (never set up suspension myself) you wanna set sag as you'd ride it... so what ever your normal gear is... if you do a long trip and load the bike down... you'll wanna adjust the suspension for the extra weight.

roadracing world's Trackday issue had a good 3 page article on suspension setup in the latest issue
