Basic suspension settings

Can anyone give me the base settings for the suspension front and rear on my 1995 900SS? I weigh 13st if we can fine tune it...


Cheers,

Sneaky

Thank you so much for that last link. My 750SS suspension was perfect, or so I thought. After reading that guide I realised that yes it does loose traction over ripply surfaces while accelerating. The rear was set was too hard, slacken the pre-load off and I now have a far smoother more progressive, more responsive back end.

Thank you very very much!

Top posts! Fanx gang. I'll get back to this tomorrow when I have more time ;-)

The bike is on stock, but its way to hard for road riding. It'd be ace on the track I bet. But giv'vin it some on the road would be lethal!
