polarity Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Where would you go to get your suspension setup properly? I live in Yorkville so eastern/south eastern OH. Thought about doing it myself but I know NOTHING about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serpentracer Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) interesting thing about suspension settings on the street....there is no perfect setting. the ever changing pavement types and surface conditions pretty much make doing it useless. the only setting you should get right is your sag. that's what your suspension is resting at with you sitting on it all geared up. get that in the ballpark and your suspension will work as good as it can for everything you ride it on. setting the rebound and compression somewhere in the middle is plenty good enough. thomas, vortex makes a nice lowering link for the sv. while I don't recommend lowering it for handling reasons it's your bike,https://www.vortexracing.com/shop/product/16670/1317/ Edited June 2, 2013 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JStump Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Anyone know the name if the place by the gap who sets suspensions? I hear they are really good and I'll be down there this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto-Brian Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 We actually are not setting sag anymore. Take the length of the springs and compress @10mm and run it. It's all feel after that point. No more old school sag stuff anymore. You can check to see where you are, but it isn't anything we are focused on anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubbersidedown Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Save yourself some money, youtube has some good videos to learn suspension basics that you can do with the help of a friend. If it gets to indepth seek help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
