Hi everyone,
I would like to get some opinion on suspension set up because I have noticed that my arse is bouncing about on the seat like the preverbial pea in a washing machine. I had my suspension set up by Colin Leeder of 100% Suspension in November last year (excellent service and very knowledgable by the way), but the last couple of weeks the ride on the A and B roads I know very well have not felt the same, more choppy/rigid riding over the bumps. Cornering feels great, it's more on the straights. Any suggestions more than welcome regarding possible changes to get back to smoother ride home.
I am 5'7" and weigh 12 1/2 st.
Bike is a '04-'08 RSV1000R.
PVM light weight wheels
The only change since November are the new Conti Sport Attack 2 tyres (which I really rate for feel, warm up and dry/wet weather grip)
Current suspension set up:
FRONT Sag 27mm, Compression 1.5 turns out (from full in), Rebound 3/4 turns out (from full in)
REAR Sag 15mm, Compression 1.5 turns out (from full in), Rebound 16 clicks out (from full in)
Thanks to anyone with more knowledge than me. Role on the good weather next week.
