[YLO998]

For a 14.5 stone rider , without leathers! what would be suitable fast road suspension settings. All of these free mag givaways never list the 998 bp!

thanks in advance

First start with the Static sag !!
I have 30mm front ,10mm rear , get this sorted then post back if its any better !

I have a softer rear spring on my 998 BP but you should be ok as i am 13stone kitted up !

Agree with Totto. Make sure the static sag front and rear are sorted first. It the basic starting point.

[KeefyB]

Yep,I agree with Totto and Felix,get the sag sorted first.
For 998 bip settings,do a search on the old message board.Henners had his bike set up as part of a MCN feature.

[BOLT]

Yep - have to agree with Totto, but as well as suspension, also worth considering tyres and pressures.

Swapping the original Pirelli's for 207RR's made my 998 turn in much quicker - made the bike much easier to ride at speed.

Good point Bolt prob best check the trye pressure's first
I just found this out the hard way , went out for a ride & thought the bike & started playing with the fork settings , after a couple of adjustments the bike felt no better , checked the tyre pressure to find the front 6 PSI down !
