Is there anyone out therewho is a lightweight like myself having trouble getting any type of suppleness out of their suspension? Is there any solution beyond 1000 bucks on a total suspension job?

I've ridden with every setting between mushy soft and spine shattering stiff and I still can't find that happy medium that doesn't dive in turns but absorbs bumps without jolting the bike. While my current setting works great for turns, the bike consistently gets bounced into the air over just about any bump hit over 45mph.

There probably isn't a solution to this problem because it's not the bike's fault I weigh 130 soaking wet. At least my power to weight ratio is good.

I think I'll just have to buy some different springs...but any help from a fellow fly-weight would be appreciated here.

 

Well I'm no fly weight, 6'4 250, so the best advise I could give is to eat more LOL. Just kidding, I don't know if there is a quick and easy fix without tweaking the whole suspension system. Mine was fairly easy because I'm big I just made the suspension real tight and I like the way it rides.

 

Hahaha...love the Harley comment. I think I'll just strap a couple of sides of beef on my fairings to fix my set up. I could have a snack while I was riding too.

I think it's RaceTech that offers spring kits. I put ATK kits in all my motocross bikes so I suppose I'll have to spend some dough since I'm built like a whippett.
