hi all,

after getting the gsxr1000 k2 front end on and everything settled down i have started to play with the settings as the ride was a bit 'firm' to say the least.

the settings at the moment are:

compression - all the way down '1st click'
rebound - all the way down then 4 clicks up
spring compression - all the way up (softest)

with above settings the compression is still rising on bumps but the rebound is just about right but i still get a bit of 'pogoing'. the fork travel goes no where near the bottom of the fork tubes (lucky if its 2/3rds down under heavy breaking)

i'm 10-10.5 stone and i feel its still a bit firm.

so the question is do you think i need a softer set of springs?

i mainly ride on bumpy B roads.

i have looked at the racetech website and used there calculator and it says that the stock springs are about right for my weight.

as yet i have not changed the oil or checked the springs but it looks as though someone has been into the forks already (telltail spannering on caps) they also came with ohlins stickers on the bottom of the forks, so i have no idea if the springs have been changed.
