I say dont even hassle with it. Im sure most will say that suspension settings dont have much effect from a stunting aspect.

Actually i've heard from a few people the stiffer the rear the better for a better power transfer to the rear wheel which makes sense

I did this to my bike and it felt better. I don't know if I was just fooling myself or what but I thought about the power transfer as well.

Rapers, .

Thats why there cranked down. so if i slam a wheelie down the forks arent gonna blow. because they are set so stiff.

I'd watch out for the stiffness up front those bearings and seals don't have a chance for slam downs .....before you know it she'll be a lane drifter


late........good luck

ericgsxr is a decent person
I've got the front and rear both set is stiff as it'll go.

I weight 210 if that's any bearing on it.

I'm sure it takes away from my cornering, but who really gives a flying fk about cornering, I can miss cornering a few seasons and still come back flying through the twisties, I just wanna get some good wheelies and stoppies.

I have the front set as stiff as possible because I'm trying to get better at wheelies up and down hills, and I get em knocked down a little hard now and then.
