    I was just wondering what the stock set up is . I bought a bike that was set up to drag race. I raised the front end back up to stock.(well 4mm down to run 120/70 tire instead of a 120/60) but I wanted to set it back to stock suspension settings to have a starting point to adjust it.....anybody know them?????

    I don't know the stock setting but I had some baseline recommended adjustments written down that I found in an old magazine.... try 3 lines showing on the front preload adjusters, front rebound 5 clicks out from full stiff, rear preload on position 5 of 7, and rear compression half a turn out. These are assuming your suspenion is bone stock. Good luck!

    Thanks,
    I'll try those and see how it does.. It gotta be better than before..The front preload was all the way down to one line showing..

    Thanks again..
