is suspension setup a must on a stunt bike? i noticed some of you lads running different forks on 636s, is this just to take advantage of 6 pots for stoppies? does a sorted back shock help with circles or does it make jack **** of a difference?!

 

On the rear stiffer is better (in fact on the front too) people change the fork on B1h because of this

 

W.T.F.. enough said!!

 

Seen that picture a few times, is it definatley real ?

Shane, tighten up your rear shock to hardest setting, stopps the bike acting like a pogo-stick when your trying to circle.

 

thanks alot t-style.. my back shock is quiet soft and it didnt feel right hence why i posted up this question... should i turn dampening and rebound up to the very last or will i back off a notch or 2 on both? or will i just turn up 1 and not the other? and is there anything mods for the standard forks i should know about that might help? cheers..

 

My rear is set to hardest, some of the others told me it was best setup. run it like that for a while and its defo better. dont know about standard forks, I was just told that they are week.

Got my rear F4i one re-gased and sorted by hanksey sponsor mctsuspension

 

thanks again man, ill give it a shot tomorrow.

 

yes it's real i know him

i run both the rebound and the compression on full hard and i tighten the spring/preload setting also ..

i like this setting for every thing including stoppies , i know most people will say the rear has nothing to do with stoppies but it did for me

 

??????????????

 

so about the fork rebound on a 600rr...? is it bad to stiffen or whatever u call it.... and how do i do it with both of them being equally soft... i want to run them softer cause when i endo i have to really throw my weight forward to get it up just a little.... was wondering what u guys recommend....? and if i dnt use my weight the front tire just skids..... lol

 

for short stoppies set the rebound to stiff and the compression to soft so the front of the bike will dive and not bounce back up but as your stoppies get longer and faster you will probably end up stiffening up the compression setting too ..

as far as the tire skidding thats all about a good tire and technique

 

newwwb question you lost me there roger...? lol compression being the rear shock? or in the front? and im looking for medium long to short stoppies setup.....? thanks for the tip by the way and how do i adjust the compression..? its an 05 cbr600rr

 

the original topic was rear but you asked about front ..

the front forks have 3 settings

1 compression- that setting controls the rate the fork goes down

2 rebound- that setting controls the rate the fork rises

3 preload- that setting controls the tension on the spring inside the fork and will effect both the compression and the rebound

a good way to learn how your settings effect the bike i suggest turning all of them to the softest settings and bounce the bike up and down then one at a time turnthem to full hard and bounce the bike so you can see what they do ..

 

damn and to adjust all of those settings how is it done...? whats the little flat head looking screw at the top of the fork where it says H-S?

 

h = hard s=soft , the little flat head looking screw thing is what you turn to make the adjustment and if you do what i said in my previous post you will be able to tell if the top setting is your compression or your rebound because when you turn it to h it will either go down slower or go up slower then put it back to soft and do the same thing on the bottom setting ....

the spring preload will be at the top , i dont have a honda but it should be a hex shaped adjustment around the flat head looking adjustment that will put pressure on the spring when you turn it clockwise

 

bro thanks alot for the advice i had posted up a thread about this and no one even left anything .. so good looking out ... lol oh and by the way im saving up to see if i get me one of ur subcages so will here from me soon....

 

a couple of miami riders come here once in a while to ride , you should come up with them one night

 

I've never changed my settings on the rear. Once its up, then its up. I cant see how the shock will make much difference, but then again i've never changed it so i wouldn't know


But as for the front, i like a nice stiff one

I dont have it on full stiff settings for one reason, landing a wheelie or mouse trapping. That way i hope i'll save my fork seals for longer.

 

set the rear to full stiff you will like it for any thing stunt related

 

You sure?? what about burn outs and that??

Might give it ago.
