Hello,

I'm currently looking for a shop in the IE to set up my suspension for my weight(140) and riding style(commuting and running around town). The previous owner was 6' 4" at 210lbs so I'm looking to get the bikes suspension set up tailor made for me.

Thanks,

David

 

IMHO, you are the only one that can do that. Everyone likes something different. Take two people same hight same wieght etc. one may like rebound slower one may like compression harder etc. It's all a matter of preference. Trial and error is your best bet. Play with all the settings until it feels good to you and while you're doing that take notes to keep track of the changes, only change one thing at a time and remember that anything you change will affect the others so while putting in more rebound you may want to stiffen or soften the preload. Putting more preload on the rear will shift the bias more to the front etc. Give it a try and do keep those notes.

Hope that helps. Worth a read, anyway.

 

Good advice above on both counts

Refer to the factory Honda shop manual for your bike. It will have the original stock settings the way it came from the factory. Put it back to those specs, try it, & then go from there for your preferences.

I'm really looking to set up the sag for my weight and comp and rebound for street/ commuting use.

 

In general 3/4 to 1" sag in the front anyway is a good start. Rebound would depend on the kind of surface you are on. The smoother the harder the rougher the softer and rebound would follow the compression setting. What you are aiming for is a solid contact with the surface. The more contact the better. Bouncing is not good. The contact patch should stay in contact with the surface at all times
