Awesome, thanks for all the info! I'll have a mechanic take a look and see if i actually have the full package installed with ecu upgrade. And yes, I will look into new forks. Any suggestions on new forks? And what does it means to have the suspension tuned for me? As far as stiffness/softness, how do I test? Do i just ride around and see if it feels nice? Anything specific to look for or feel for? Thanks again! Day 2 and im already learning bookloads! You guys are the best
You don't need to jump out and buy new forks off the bat. Have your suspension guy set sag (spring tension) and rebound on the shock (hydraulic damping). Sag is set with YOU on the bike. He should let you know if you need different springs front or rear, and if decent front/rear balance can be achieved with the existing components. There is no external adjustment on the forks, but if necessary the forks can be opened up and the spring spacer can be readily modified to get the proper sag and the fork oil can be refreshed or the viscosity changed to tweak the damping behavior. Google suspension setup and you'll find the basic concepts. You can do all those things yourself as well, but a good supension guy is worth every penny. If you find you want more than the stock suspension can offer, there are many options, but be prepared to pay $$ and also invest significant time in knowledge acquisition and tweaking. Suspension is a big topic. Start with a solid street setup and go from there. And enjoy your new S2R!
