Went yesterday to get a quote on how much it'll cost to setup my suspension by the Don himself.

£20!

YES TWENTY POUNDS.

It has transformed my bike, he straight away saw the flaws in my current setup and explained how my bike is currently handling, and he was right!

Best £20 I've ever spent, bike can hold much tighter lines round corners now, I cant wait to go for a proper blast tomorrow!

So what are the settings then and yoke height. :dowhat
 
Yeah, come on mate spill the beans! :thumbup

What did he spot and what adjustments did he make to the set up to enable the tighter lines?
 
The main flaw was the rear shock settings, it had shitloads of sag even before getting on the bike, added preload, the front feels very light, almost too light now, checked my tyres and noticed the tears.

im no expert on the subject but i'd definately recommend a trip down to him, as the settings hes given me are set for my weight/riding as I asked for track settings but got some tips on how to ease it off abit for road use, but to be honest the settings hes left me with are fine on road, its not twitchy or too harsh at all.
 
well for me they are the best! known don and andy a long time set mine up aswell they are awsome recommend them always may not be a aprilia dealer now but thats politics for you !southern cross are awsome:thumbup
