Professional Suspension Set-up
 
Got my SV booked in next week to have the suspension set-up properly by Kais Performance in Atherton.

Anyone used them or had their sv suspension set-up professionally and did you notice a difference.

Only going to cost £40 ride in/ ride out.:p

I've heard of them and bumped into a guy a couple of years back who had his bike set up there, prior to a trackday, and was very pleased. I just don't hink it is worth it for a standard SV as there is so little to adjust!

Yeah, 40 quid to sort your preload is a little steep. I'd suggest looking up how to do it, get 2 mates to help, take 15 minutes to get it right and then spend the £40 on some buns...

In fact, I'm pretty sure if you do a search on preload or sag you will find something on the forum about it. Look for stuff by Sid Squid or Rictus, or others you trust, and you should be onto a winner.

I wouldnt of bothered if it was the 650 but seems to be a real fiddle to get it "right" on the thou

I bought my fork springs from them, a bit tricky to find is all I remember.

Look, you are only in Bolton. Give Elmerfud (suspension consultant to the massive) a call. He is in Preston and does suspension for a living
