Suspension Setup

I've read that quite a lot of people say that getting the suspension setup for you, your size, weight etc is a must. Where would you go to get this done and how much would it cost?

 

Got mine first done on a track day by Parkitt racing ( I think they still service most of No Limits Trackdays) cost £40ish

Then got my front internals upgraded with K-tech to suit my weight, this came with a full set up, - did that at PDQ in Taplow near Slough

 

Excuse my dumbness but what exactly does this entail ? planned to book the bike in to set up my PCV so could get the suspension done at the same time

 

Apparently the bikes tend to be set very hard when they come from the factory. They basically adjust your rebound, sag and preload to get some suspension compliance. Gets the suspension working properly and keeps the tyres in contact with the road more of the time.

 

very hard ? I have managed to twat my hugger a couple of times when giving it a bit of right hand (abs bike) would of guessed at too soft...hmmm food for thought

 

Hello Chicken..

We have Steve Jordons down here in the south mate near Leatherhead in Surrey !
Im taking mine there and its £62 for them to give it a proper sort out !
Nice ride back for you too to test the blighter out and put the set up through its paces and watch them chicken strips disappear !

I do all my setup myself but refresh work etc I have done by Phil Crowe (PCR Motorcycle Developments)

If your not busting superstock times your pissing money up the wall on full cartridges on the front.

Weight matched springs & oil with decent rear shock setup will see wonders, in an ideal world new shock & front setup will see your ideal setup.

Plenty of places about.

 

Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions. Been looking around the net for anyone local and found these guys located at Bournemouth Airport, Race Lab Suspension - Home page.
