Default RE: Any suggestions to stabilize f4i for canyon riding?

I just rode canyon with your setting. I think steering feels more solid. I seem to get better tracking during twists like almost having a damper. Front damping doesn't feel too hard either. I didn't touch spring load, it that ok?
I've been trying slow in fast out cornering. There are so many fast riders where I am and trying to keep my pace. I need to take care of my fear factor now!! And of course trying not to get a ticket as well. I'll keep on riding with this setting and let you know more of how it rides! Thanks!

yeth...preload is ok...adjusts height of front...but as for spring rate...can't change it unless you go stiffer spring.
as for the tires, will be better, but if you be smooth should be like buttah and fast too. forget the slow in, fast out...
smooth...so work on your timing...delay your apex, lean down and then throttle out. get yourself smooth and you'll be fast in no time and look hot too!

if you want to quickly increase your timing and skillz...take it to GMR (think closed now) or Turnbul Canyon off 605 in Whittier...super duper tight turns.

then you can do the crazy schiznit...last minute braking...slam the bike down and then throttle out...that too hardcore and not smooth, but good schiznit...you'll need that to get around dudes at track that have faster bikes...where you'll have to rely on skillz not bike power. brake later than them and get into the corner faster! then they all shock and give F4i props.
