2001 fx suspension setup
Hi, not sure if this is the right place for this so sorry if not.
I had a very slight tank slapper yesterday so decided to try an set up my suspension. I was pretty sure it was out as I only weigh 8 stone and it was set harder than standard.
I set everything back to standard and adjusted the preload so its right for my weight which left the rear spring on 1 and the front half way between 3 and 4 bars showing.
The rest I just can't seem to get into my head.
I road the bike an it feels really stable but I do feel bumps quite hard at the front.
Would I need to adjust the damping for this an if so which way? At the moment everything is set to standard except the preload.
Or am I just expecting too much from comfort from a sportsbike.
Thanks for any help in advance.
