What's up fellas ok I'm not a new rider by any means started out on a 50 @ the age of 8 but I'm more of a point and shoot rider never cared for the twisties but anyways when I'm setting my suspension rebound dampening etc. how do I know if i got it right? what do i want the bike to do and not do? hope this doesn't sound to fu**in stupid i'm just don't have much knowledge in suspension.

 

alhpa,

Man I here what you are saying, nobody is stupid, but you know I never found anyone that would tell you what it is suppost to feel like. LMAO kind of like a ski boot everyone tells you how, and why,but what is damn feeling you are looking for. Alwayshere the same old [sm=icon_blah.gif][sm=icon_blah.gif][sm=icon_blah.gif]bull****, well you know when you feel it....

So I was in the same **** as you are, asking what is the feeling one should be getting, and how can you tell, if not whats dicked up....

Well going to kind of bragg on one of the Mags I have been getting for the past year,they have a tech section that has covered the suspension A to Z. The mag is SuperBike comes from England,They cover some really good**** in theremag.
They are also on the net at www.superbike.co.uk you can do a back search and pick up all of the tech articlesby Bob Gray as he puts it down so all can understand how,why, and the feed back one is looking for.

Just checking in back issues, I foundthe one where hestarts, back in June 2007 "Basic Set-up" they run it each month.

It really helped me with setting up my scoots well worth it, you can go on line and should be able to get the articles.

Good luck,hope this will help you, and a few others as well.
