Hey all!
I got my zx6r '96 model about 4 months back, it's the second bike i've owned and I have been riding bikes for almost 2 years.
I don't do track days (but I wish I did!) and my riding style is like most other people's; moderate, but aggressive once in a while!.
I know all the settings that the front and rear pre-load, compression and damping should be, when standard, but all these settings have been modified (by previous owner, I guess).
The bike handles fine and does what is required, but because of my lack of expereience in suspension set-up and riding bikes in general, I'm not sure whether the current settings are having a negative effect on my riding. For all I know, they could be having a positive effect.
Should I revert to the original standard settings, or leave the settings as they are? Will changing the settings screw up my riding? Should I play around with them or not when everything APPEARS to be fine?
Oh yeah, I'm about 6 foot, and of moderate build. Any help or suggestions would be great! Cheers!
