I know Andy of old, he sorted the suspension on my 996 several years ago, might be worth me calling to see if he has any good base settings, I doubt I'm going to have time as both of our bikes will be in the van, and it's not fair to deprive Lily of her track day at the end of the day

Jon, if it helps i'll get a works van for Lily's bike so she can do the morning session and you can get the suspension checked.

Having said that, i very much doubt there is anything wrong with the bike, or indeed with your riding.

So many other people have commented on the road salt additive issue, especially my lads on bikes at work who have ridden all thru the winter. Even when the roads are dry people are saying that the roads are just SO SLIPPY with the bloody stuff, and don't forgoet your tyres were stone cold as well.

The Multi felt that bad recently that i spent an hour checking tyre pressures, suspension settings, play in bearings etc, but found nothing wrong whatsoever.

thanks heavens that Oulton will not have been gritted.

Having said that, its the first track day of the season on a new top class bike (did i really say that about one of those!)
just get out there and build it up slowly, get used to the bike and ENJOY yersell.

Even though i've ridden a bit through the winter i still feel a bit rusty, so no doubt its the same for you with the track days.

I know you are concerned... but

you were gonna ride tomorrow without changing any settings. you know that the incident was not due to suspension and would not have changed the suspensionsettings at all.

I know you want to get it sorted, but nothing has changed suspension wise so why scrap your track day because of it?

Just get out there and see how it goes.
