Silverstone... my mate told me that's the best place to set up the bike suspensions... the 12th is a Sunday... looks interresting

What company does the trackday?

[Tonio600]

Focused Events... and it's full

took plastics off - AndyJ (re)painted them before xmas.

AK removed 620 engine from Snot - cos someone wanted it - and refitted the 583, without the big bore.

Otherwise - zilch.

Got to wash the girls off, as only unloaded the van last nite, from Brands trackday last w/end, and boy are they a grubby little pair of ladies!

I've taken mine apart. So all I have to do is put it all back together and hope it still works.

I would think that it's the worst place for suspension set-up as it's so smooth and flat.

Also, no 2 tracks are the same, so why would you set up your suspension for Silverstone when we don't even race there?

You'll find yourself flat out in top gear for 90% of it too.

I'd save your money and do a track we race on - Oulton? for example. They have a trackday on 11th March and we're racing there.

Have you been there before?

Could be a good reason to learn it.

I'm at Silverstone cause it's 10 miles from me and Mallory 30 miles....I'm a BIG fan of Silverstone GP...on my 748RS at least...the DD may feel underpowered!!!!

All about time on the bike for me!

Suspension setup.....what's that ????

Tonio, call Focussed, their website isn't accurate for numbers,Skids and Kev are there too on DD bikes.

Because I've invested in a nice Ohlins shock and according to him a flat track is the best place to play with the 3 settings

Because it's flat so may be a good way of doing a "global" setup of the suspensions...

That's what he explained me and I quite agreed with him. Now you can convince me as well Be good
