Default Suspension Settings??

Okay, I just wanted to ask, what are your guys suspension settings for the cbr900rr 92-94? Mines are setfor a 220lbs guy at 6'5" (old owner), and me, Im only 175lbs @ 5'8", I def. need it softer but I wanted to ask what your guys average settings?Mines are so tight that on a turn I have to be careful cuz of bumps, it'll literally bounce me off the road if Im not careful...

Take the bike to a shop and have it setup properly, including sag, springs etc.

It'll will make the bike perform as designed for your weight.

From my experience its difficult to tell what can be an ideal settings for an individual. Settings can be the same but the reliability and condition of each bike and suspension are not the same; hence the result won't be either.

THe most important should be the preload rear spring, loosen it up if you feel its tight. Test ride each time you adjust your settings until you feel it's ok for you.
