Stock suspension settings

Tue Mar 31, 2009 11:52 pm » Post: #1 » Download Post

Hi guys,

I'ved tried searching, but cannot find the stock setting values anywhere.

My '92 SP MC21 is understeering in corners. I'd like to check to see if the previous owner has fiddled with the settings. At this stage, I am just trying to start from an standardised reference point and check the easy, obvious and cheap things before I start servicing/taking things apart.

Other factors may be the mismatched tyres (a Bridgestone BT90f 110/70 and Michelin Pilot 150/60) both about 1/3rd worn; tweaked chassis geometry - fork tops are flush with top clamp; worn head or swingarm bearings etc; tired shock; the rider (75kg's); or a combination of any of the above.

Thanks

Scott

Not stock but HRC base setings are here.

If nothing else it gives you somewhere to start.

I pulled my forks through the top clamp by 20mm and it turns well on the track .

Thanks Fontyyy, I'd already found that. I was just after the base road settings (it's for a road bike). I will be using that guide eventually though.

NSR`s can be a bit limp in the suspension department as they are designed for lighter people. You won`t go far wrong with the settings in the tuning section, but I`d say keep the forks level with the top bridge as pulling them through the triples a bit can make the steering a bit lively for street riding.

It`s important the suspension fluid is good. Change it according to the maintenance schedule. A little extra over stock isn`t a bad thing either.
