    Suspension setup for stock 05gsxr600

    Hey all im wondering if anyone has a set-up for a 05 gsxr600 for loudon,for my suspension.Its stock for now,all i can afford until next season.i wiegh 175to180lbs.Right now the suspension is a stock set-up.Thats was fun for my first race weekend,especially giong into three,and turn ten,or coming out of.So if anyone has any sugestions just to get through the rest of the season for a setup i would be very happy,thanx for your time.

    go see pk and have him set the sag/comp/rebound. easiest way to get a baseline if you aren't too keen on screwing with it yourself.

    dont use an 06 shock.

    call me if u need a little guidance... at mid 20's, you can easily make something safe and comfortable for the remainder of the season.

    Thanx Kit i usually look at the sport rider mag site they usually have something for the bikes they test.I used there setup for my TL1000r and its fine way better than stock and that suspension is junk.The set up they have for the gixxer doesnt seem right to me,but i might still try it if i cant figure it out.Thanx again for your time and i hope to meet you soon.Patrick

    Hey Patrick, definitely go talk to either Peter Kates or Mike Martire up at the track... both of them I'm sure would be happy to work with you to get the most out of what you have.

    If you want to take a more do it yourself route... check out this list of articles. You'll learn a bunch...
