Adjusting S2R1000 suspension

[jbolle]

The other day when I really got on the brakes I realized two things.

1. I should really get around to fixing the rear brakes

2.  My front end really dips far when I brake.

I started looking into things and it seems that the bike comes setup for someone significantly lighter than me.  I'm about 215 without gear on.  I went to the racetech website to see about some springs and they didn't have the S2R listed.  What are people doing for suspension adjustments and whatnot? 

I've read the articles on setting the sag properly and all of that, but it appears that my weight might put me beyond the range of the preload adjustment for my fork.  (All of this is being said and thought about while I'm a few hundred miles from my bike).

Any tips on where to get started? 

Thanks.

I just searched "suspension," and saw five pertinent threads.  Check 'em out.

Jeff,

If you're serious about getting the suspension right you need to install the correct springs for your weight as a starting point. From the factory they are way undersprung for you.

Racetech does make springs for your bike. Give them a call.

RaceTech has springs that will work, but not right out of the box.
I can get the right ones, and I've got spacers that make 'em work right, etc.
