Do a trackday with No Limits and get Colin at 100% Suspension to do it for you, then test it for 7 sessions whilst he adjusts as required...there is no better way to test it and get sound advice from a real professional.

Or, you don't need to do the trackday, just turn up at Brands or something and Colin will do it for you.

need springs; max preload, and compression, and still bottoming out the forks at cadwell! Rick from JHP checked the front sag and it was spot on....just way too soft!! So 1.1kg springs for me

Steve Jordan in Bookham set mine up and he is an Ohlins dealer.

Gary was a front runner for many years in the North Glos race club and has a great test road outside his front door, just remember to slow down for the single lane hump back bridge

have had fork and shock rebuild work done at Steve Jordan and Setup Engineering. Both good but took a while.

Had the 848 setup for me (stock kit, just settings) when new by Rob @ Pro-Twins, did it while I waited :)

JHP in Coventry fitted new rear spring to my 1098s and set the suspension up for me and its a different bike..... really knew what they were doing!

Shouldn't be telling you this as Scott will not be happy if you get any faster but Pete Clifford is your man. He's been involved in BSB and WSS teams and is currently helping Craig Fitz in BSB. He runs Actiforce and is usually found at Hottrax meetings and is based near Cadwell. He is your man.
