suspension

This is a job i've been meaning to do for ages, so i'm going to remove the rear suspension linkage on my 02 R and give it a good service and relube as it's never neen touched. I'm going to use 2 axle stands and a metal bar through the swingarm pivot on the frame to support the bike then remove...

Anyone know of any suspension set up peeps in the SW area? Need some assistance........ Erm not Motosport Aprilia in Wareham ;)

Spent the weekend setting up my suspensions back to factory settings, and it was amazing how simple it really is. I have to thank the expertise of my friendly neighbor "Gixxer Dave" would purely explained what the manual was asking me to do. The fronts are sorted by an Ikea Allen key and a...

Alright guys, If the weather is ok tomorrow me and the Mrs are eading out on the Tuono. Question is, what should i be adjusting to compensate for the extra weight?? Just the shock preload??? If so by roughly how much???? Thanks guys..................:thumbup

Hi All, new kid on the block and all that..... Just sold my 996SPS and bought an 04 Factory (has PC III fitted with Mivii GP slip-on's). Can I get some advice on finding the settings to soften up the suspension a bit - I live out in the country on bumpy B roads and the suspension is way too...

OK is anybody interested in a group buy on the uprated suspension plates for 04 on bikes .. am not sure where to get them from but am sure somebody on here will help with that . i am told the plates are from usa and are approx £50 inc post .. not sure if this is possible but gotta be worth a...

Just got the suspension set up done by a qualified ohlins guy here in Ireland (NDM) What a massive difference it makes to the ride etc (might be obvious to some) Looks like the bike was previously set up for somebody more vertically challanged:thumbup Anyway, well worth the 50 euro :thumbup

Had Colin at 100% suspension do the Tuono today. Rear was spot on, with sag and rebound all set perfectly already. (Although the rear rebound adjuster is siezed, which seems common on the Tuono). Front end was a different story, WAY WAY too bouncy. He showed my 2 bikes, mine and 1...

Okay, as the title says, this is a quick heads-up for Kais Suspension, which is based in Atherton near(ish) Manchester. For various reasons, I`m a bit pushed for time at the moment, and having had my RSVR for a month now, I knew I wanted to get the suspension sorted. I do have a reasonable...

Thought i would post this as there are a lot of suspension questions popping up, there is a good chart on this with symptoms and cures for handling issues, lots of reading but take out of it what you want:thumbup...

I know there's probably loads of old posts out there about this but I wanted to put my own points forward and would appreciate any advice/help.:thumbup I've had the bike nearly 3 weeks now and have got used to the handling but it's not to my taste so I want to change it. It's not an R model...

Has anybody had their front showas revalved by reactive supspension or any other front fork mods along with running the oem factory ohlins shock on the rear and if so how does it perform now? I know, should have bought the factory!!

Hi, new to site. Just bought a 03 RSV in spotless nic and low kms. My second Mille. Had a new 02 model and paid too much for it then, cause value just nose dived. Loved the bike, did over 40k kms on it. As for this one, someone has played around with suspension, is all over the place. I...

yes its me again!!!! Has anyone set there rsv1000r ohlims suspension up as per the manuals "racing setting"? is this any good? One setting drops the bars to expose four rings on the front adjusters- what does this do? Finally i would of thought this is a dry setting does anyone have a wet...

I have an '04 Tuono R that has a screw adjustor (not a dial) for the rear compression damping. On the sportrider.com page for Tuono suspension settings [http://www.sportrider.com/tech/tires/146_suspension_settings/index.html], the only model that shows a screw adjustment is the RSV Mille R...

Hi fellow rsvrs, just bought an 08 reg factory,do i need to get the suspension set to suit my weight? going over the forth road bridge at the weekend i thuoght it was going to know my teeth out ,it seems very hard on rough roads and have to watch how i set my mouth or chipped molars might ensue...

Today i have been looking at my suspension as when out it feels too soft on the rear. Anyway i went back to standard settings. However according to the manual it states that the overall rear shock length should be 147mm from top nut to bottom but mine is around 120mm and there is no way its...

Ok so I set up the bike 02 rsvr to factory settings static sag on the front was 30mm no rider sag as yet (nobody to help me yet) went out for a spirited ride this morn and nearly lost the front a couple of times so came back to investigate. Now I put a cable tie on the fork legs like I always...
