Hello,

I've just bought a '97 ZX-6R F3.
Does anyone know what the stock suspension settings are?
as I suspect the previous owner was twice my weight...

If you have an owners manual, they will be in there. Got a question for you though. What do you mean ZX6R F3? "F3"?

Loose is fast and on the edge you're out of control.

The bikes are given a letter per generation, and a # for what year of that generation they are.

example) The 2000 was a J1, 2001 is J2, and 2002 is J3.

I'd assume the 95-97 bikes were F1-3

The stock suspension settings on a 1997 ZX-6R are as follows:

Front
Preload: 6 rings showing
Compression: 7 clicks out
Rebound: 7 clicks out

Rear
Compression: 12 clicks out
Rebound: 2 clicks out

There is no practical stock setting of the rear preload.

actually...the 2002 (636) is an A1.

...but the model numbers are probably only designated for different world markets.
