Had Ryan setup my stock susp at a track day as well. Bike did ride better after.
The next year I upgraded to racetech gold valves, racetech springs and an aftermarket rear shock with racetech spring, then setup by Accelerated Tech. HUGE improvement over a setup 'stock' suspension. Well worth...
Elka & Penske are both good choices, can't go wrong either way. I'm sure you'll be happy. I went with a Penske triple-clicker and haven't looked back.
This winter my wish list is short, probably just buying more trackdays at the show!
Track looks super fun. Considering gopros usually flatten out elevation perception, you can see a good amount of elevation changes in the video! We had friends down there, can't wait to hear how it went for them.
That thing always got in the way of pulling on and off my tail section. I couldn't figure out what it's use was, and cut it off with a dremel. It made getting the tail section on and off way easier.
... looked like it was for a wire harness, or maybe a tool holder... anyway, never found that...
Nice work! With the swingarm view, for a second there I wondered why your rearset was flexing so much... until I realized why. Looked deceiving at first glimpse.
From Saturday. Last session before lunch, cut short due to red bike down in turn 1. Rider was sitting when we went by. Heal up!

Awesome track! Even better, the day (Monday) went without any major incident, which is impressive due to the amount of riders. I believe around 130 were registered.
Our poor little 600's were put to work on this big track. We went through more gas than usual for a trackday in Ontario...
Those are great shots. You obviously have a great knack for photograpy. When I see an action picture, I like to see it as if time has stopped. No blur from any moving parts. You can see the tire sipes perfectly as if they the tires are not moving. The depth of field with just the subject in...
Lower triples are a good and secure place to tie down my bike. I never liked using my canyon dancers, they put a lot of stress on the clipons & I've had a clipon come a bit loose. 3/4 suspension compression seems excessive. 1/3 - 1/2 maybe. Enough to just stabilize the bike from side-to-side...
Willing to split the set. $40 for rear (lots of life), $10 for the front (little bit of life left).
Willing to meet as far south as Newmarket, or grab them in Barrie on your way up to cottage country this long weekend!
