Diving under heavy braking

[Betty]

Fair chance that one went straight through to the 'keeper. Don't know if cricket is that big in Norway

Cricket shouldn't be big anywhere

, but I did understand that the OP isn't tiny Good thing, because size matters

Hey Cakeman...........There was a thread posted some time ago by Docstrada called "The Pace"....It is well worth a read and it may save you a lot of money and your brakes will also be pleased. You will find it on page 4 at the top........may have moved down the page by the time you read this, but it is well worth the read i feel.

Cheers...........!

Brian.

Thanks for the reams of info guys... your the best!
Once the midpipe comes in from ozducati, im due for a service (was going to go to gowies as my mate has had good experiesnce there, full service, tune etc for $295.... however the general consensous seems to go to DesmoClinic)

Either way, once the pipe is in, i will get the service and more then likely head to Zeno (the mad professoer) to have a look at it.

Im not motogp rider, but im sure it cant hurt!

again thanks for the overwhelming responses!

Mike Berry who ownes and is the only mechanic at DesmoClinc used to service my M900ie when he was at Gowies. I used to take my Duc there when I was new because I'd heard that you needed to go to specialists and the Dealers weren't the best. At the time, DMF didn't exist and I hadn't met all of my mates now on this forum so didn't get the advice offered to you now 

Mechanics move around and the good ones end up opening yup there own shops. Mike will differently look after you and if you get the sag adjusted properly with him when you do your service it'll cost you next to nothing. Checking the sag is a two person job and YOU need to be sitting on the bike with your riding gear on!

Once you know the sag is right you can think about other adjustments like spring weights and oil levels.

Given your a similar weight to me you may find that you'll need a heavier rear spring and will probably get away with adjustments to the dampening for the forks. If you need to do that then consider going to a specialist like Technic in Penrith or Shivo's in Auburn.

Try not to drool too much on his collection of bevels tho.
