    I ordered a set of carozeria forged aluminum wheels for my 2005 zx6r the other day and am wondering about what suspension adjustments might b necessary? Bike is was setup by gmd computrack about 2 years ago and handles great now but I've read somewhere that lightweight wheels require suspension adjustments especially to the compression clickers?

    Ride the motorcycle. Change what needs to get changed, if anything.

    Dave Moss did a nice writeup as he tuned a bike around a set of carrozzeria wheels and what he had to change.

    But Dave is really following the advice given above - he just rides it, listens to the bike and makes some changes based on feel.

    He must get paid by the word.

    Having to pay just to see him hopping on stationary motorcycles is hilarious.
