    Just had my Suspension Set-up by Steve at Peak Performance in Exeter.

    Wow........ That must be the best £50 i've ever spent on the bike...The best Mod ever!...
    The differnce is like night and day... he also recommeneded running 36/36 tyre pressures in the summer and 36/39 in the winter. I'm now running 36/36 and it just feels planted, so yes i'm well happy.

    I agree, I had mine set up last September by JHS racing in Bath £34.99. Best mod to do to a bike, also recommended 36/36.

    With that and the Ohlins I'm hoping to see some big improvements and hopefully get over my confidence issues from my crash a bit

    Mostly stock Stu, still lots to improve even with stock suspension with a setup.

    Is 36/36 not for the track? What about tyre wear? I'm thinking about taking my bike to ERSRacing up at Knockhill but it's £90 including vat to get a suspension set up!!.:eek: and you don't get to go on track or new fork internals or cuppa tea for that! :mad: Greedy feckers?
