    Suspension setup recommendations

    Thanks! Accelerated were also previously recommended. Might have to try to get out there. Some nice riding roads in the way there and back as a bonus!

    Hi! New member in the North

    Thanks for the tips. I'm probably going to keep it relatively stock at this point, minus some pipes possibly. Its fun to run around and enjoy the stiff suspension (getting air off expansion joints at 140 is exhilarating). I was thinking about the valve check since I don't know the history...

    Suspension setup recommendations

    Hi Any recommendation for a shop or tech for suspension setup? I'm in Vaughan so helpful if up that way but can ride if needed.

    Hi! New member in the North

    Heya I finally picked up an RC51. 2001 SP1 with 39k km on it. Few bits and pieces like a Scotts damper, alarm, sprocket change and speedohealer. Pretty good condition overall. At some point might consider some pipes to make it roar though likely keep it basically as-is and ride it on...

    Hi! New member in the North

    For RC my buddy got a nice one. 30k, well looked after. I had found one with 5,700km but after looking at it there were multiple red flags including a flashing FI (though might've been a small issue or due to race exhaust). Somehow the rear cowl around the pegs used to secure the rear seat...

    Hi! New member in the North

    Update: Bittersweet to say that the NR was sold and is staying in Japan. I looked at the costs and effort to bring her over, storing, insurance, and terrible road conditions, not to mention rampant thefts and parted ways. I feel like we'll meet again. I was ready to pull the trigger on...

    Yes! Check this out: Suzuki GSX-R/4 - Wikipedia Have also seen a 70 Alpine A110 with a ZX-12R engine. Wild!

    Hi! New member in the North

    As I understand it the bikes and cars businesses are kept seperate with the NR being one of the last projects. Likely money for bike development and racing would not have been available if not for the cars. Now it seems that more dual- product companies are coming back together. It always...

    Hi! New member in the North

    Thanks for the welcome. It's been great to be back and see family, old friends, and especially share the great nature in Northern Ontario with my kids. Thanks also for the bike. Definitely got lucky to get that. Would love an RC30 and 45 (and NCs too). Have come close to each on various...

    Hi! New member in the North

    Wow that's great. I haven't lived in Blind River for many years now but still visit family in the area often. Looks like it will be early 2021 before it comes over. Once here I'll find some places to show it. Trying to find someone to insure it now.

    Hi! New member in the North

    We may have crossed paths either in person or on that forum then. It really is a great community and I am sure that my continued participation will cause me some "home"sickness. Looking forward to being a part of this forum also. I bet growing up in Malaysia was an adventure and a half...

    Hi! New member in the North

    Are you in Japan now (as your signature says)? If so, please check out the GaijinRiders group on facebook and let me know if you need anything over there. Singapore was great place to live. Malaysia is where I went for fun; highways paved with petro dollars and an invisible police force...
