In the corners is where setting up the suspension will pay off. I always target the behaviour after hitting a decent bump or hollow in a corner...
Suspension modification is a bit of an addiction of mine. I blame Motorcyclist magazine, they posted an article in 1984 (I think) where they took...
Your 500 has air-adjustable pre-load (7-21 psi range), and a 4-position damping adjuster (4 is most damping). More air pressure will raise the...
The DMr shim stack is very similar to RaceTech C33 with 3 x 17 x 0.15 main shims, although I now run it as C32 with 2 of those shims. The rebound...
Congratulations on your acquisition, Skippy. You get extra newbie points for including photos, and extra extra points for orienting the photos as...

My guess is that you have either left a hose detached (e.g. MAP sensor) or a cable connector is not quite clicked home. I did that with the MAP...
Last night I finished up fitting the CBR600F4 forks to 6th gen triples into my 5th gen. I re-used the springs, valves and shims from the 5th gen...
Nice one Norm! Pack your winter woolies for the trip, it's 3C in Wellington at the moment and the Desert Rd is closed with snow.
I started test fitting my CBR600F4 forks with my 5th gen wheel, guard and 6th gen triples. I was concerned whether the fork leg spacing was the...

No personal experience with that combination, but I would advise against it. 200 section tyres would be intended for use on a rim 6.0 to 6.5",...
I'm working towards fitting 43mm 600F4 forks to my 5th gen and have nearly all the parts to hand. I have already de-linked the brakes, and fitted...
