330racing Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Any recommendations on where to take my bike for suspension setup? My rsv4rr is way too stiff for street use...I don't want to hack at it. Please don't say MPH....I wouldn't trust that place with a schwinn.

Tpoppa Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Do it yourself. Plenty of instructional videos available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hoblick does it I think. I need to get mine out to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpoppa Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's not that difficult. Even if a shop sets it up for you that's just the baseline. If you REALLY want to dial it in you're still going to have to know how to make adjustments. The base settings on Sport Rider are usually pretty good. They also have fine tuning guides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman1 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 +1 on Sport Rider. That what I used for a baseline to set up my suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very mild mechanical inclination needed. Mine is still undersprung for the bike and I's combined weight, but it's not too far off. But, I'm considerably bigger than the average rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 mine needs done, but I would like to upgrade the suspension first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motocat12 Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 If you have to ask, the bike is too much for you. I'll take it off your hands and deal with the suspension problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhioBob Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I agree. Do it yourself. I have been researching and learning all about suspension tuning this year to dial in my CBR1000RR. It has been fun to learn something new. Google Dave Moss, SportRider and Motorcyclist online for suspension tuning. Motorcyclist online even has a free suspension tuning sheet for printing to help keep records / take notes as you dial in your suspension. Rider Sag & Free Sag This is a perfect opportunity for you to learn more about your bike. Just saying. OhioBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Do shocks from any other bikes fit the 300?GSXR and ZX6R rear shocks can be swapped in with ease. Believe Ohlins and Elka make pricier aftermarket alternatives, but the popular upfit are the 600 OEM swaps - which can be valved and sprung for even more improvement. Forks, on the other hand, need some crafty work or aftermarket replacements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
