    Suspension question....

    I'm having an issue with the front end on my 10r. It seems to like to pogo stick in corners when I hit bumps mid corner. It doesn't seem to settle like it should. I've never adjusted a suspension before. Can anyone give me a rough Idea or point me towards a good how too page to get me started?

    check your tire pressure.
    i wouldnt mess around with compression/dampning adjustments unless you really know what youre doing. it can make it a whole lot worse

    I did that, Just got the bike serviced... I'm kinda big and heavy so I'm wondering if that's part of the problem? (6'7" 240lbs) I've never had to adjust a suspension before on any of my bikes though... My previous bike was an 02 r1 and it felt perfect from the getgo....

    I'd start by adding a 2 clicks of rebound damping at a time til it feels settled. Then I'd add 2 clicks of compression at a time til it feels firm, but not harsh.

    Typical stock bike . Your rebound is probably too soft. Turn the rebound adjusters all the way in, then 1 turn out. That should help. If you have more questions call me.
