Re: how stiff?

I run a Scotts on my gixxer, and I turn it all the way up. I'm not going very far though- my best so far is a consistent 325-350ft. I know a couple people that run 2 dampers on gixxers, so the stiffer, the better as far as I can tell.

I did that today...its kinda scary if you're not ready for it. I like how it makes me crash when I try to turn into my driveway just as I remember that I forgot to turn it down.
