Has anyone tried out their recently published "improved" settings?

I did, mmmm......

and they don't work for me.

I fall in the "larger" of the 2 categories.....

Are you meaning the settings from about 6 weeks ago ?.......Bruce Dunns settings worked well on the road but were too soft for the track , a couple of extra clicks of compression at both ends ipmroved things but would need more track time to get it right ;)

Hope this is ok Chris

10 st rider:
Front preload 7 turns from full in
Front compression 9 clicks out from full in
Front rebound 9 clicks out from full in
Rear preload 24mm thread above collar
Rear compression 8 clicks out from full in
Rear preload 20 clicks out from full in

14.5 st rider:
Front preload 6 turns from full in
Front compression 8 clicks out from full in
Front rebound 9 clicks out from full in
Rear preload 26mm thread above collar
Rear compression 8 clicks out from full in
Rear preload 21 clicks out from full in

I tried the 14.5 st setup but find the back end a little twitchy.

Performance Bikes are going to do a set up guide soon.
They need a 999 for the article and will set the bike up for the owner.
