Default Re: GSXR600K1-K3 FORKS need setup

Thanks, for info
I backed screws right off, there are no clicks, so just did 1/4 turn increments back in until I guessed it to be about right.
Took it out and it didnt feel great,worse than I started with & similar to GSXF forks I had previously fitted.
gave rebound another half turn in, & now given compression 1 turn in.
Have to wait for now,saturday afternoon traffic not good for road testing.

Having those base settings to fall back on, will give me a bench mark, in case I get lost

At least Ill know where suzuki think they should work, many thanks.

I dont suppose you know what spring rate suzuki use ,I found 8.5 good in my last forks, and 9.5 too stiff.

You'll probably find those needles need to be 1-1.5 turns out otherwise they're doing fook all in terms of adjusting.
