    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    The lean was fine, l just couldnt comfortably hold the line, so l straighten up and engine braked a bit. I would have needed more speed to keep going my typical lean. At this point my bike was "pogo-ing" a bit, the front would get a little light if l gave it extra speed; and that's just not...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    Sorry understeer it is, if criticism is critical ( My Bad ). The front was a dunlop sportmax, the back is a Michelin 2CT. So the back holds well, and l almost fully broke them in, but the front has huge chicken strips ( +wax) and is worth ****. I had a huge issue with keeping my front under...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    Well, not drifting type slide, but l couldnt hold a line. I could tell the front was sliding a bit causing me to oversteer. This was with the stock tires though and traveling through the off ramp on the DVP @ Don Mills South. Also the weather was a bit colder in the morning when l travel on it...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    You guys/girls are very right. I changed over my tires, l knew what to expect so l guess l forgot to state it more recently. Lately during my rides ive been very observant of what to bike is doing, instead of trying to get my series of thrills. Ive also shy away from "HEAVY" corning because...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    *** UPDATE *** My first try was way too stiff, my second try was wayyyyyyy better. After riding for 4 days straight on the same path ( bumpy/flat/under construction/potholes/freshly paved/stripped and ready to pave ) l set my front suspension again ( not touching rear, too complicated at this...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    HOLY CRAP!!!!!!! I would have never thought about that. Anyone found themselves in a position that they needed to do this and why. Is something like this bad for the forks, l mean wouldn't put a strain on them if there acting differently. Otherwise thats a cool idea, I would have tons more play...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    Where can l pick up a wrench for changing the rear preload. Would l go straight to honda, or is there a shop l can easily go to and one pick up. The front feels great, l rode all weekend, wrote down all a new set of high and lows that l can now try to fix and hone in on. Im dying to set the...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    Where's a good reference for how to set tire pressure. With some help from some members l managed to set my sag properly. Just need to figure out the mechanics involved with proper pressure. I'm not new to the concept but the more basic the better. Also what a good tire pressure sensor and...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    Why start down that road... THEN ticker with it. I can only make it worst from a professional setup. If all else fails l have to option to go get it properly set. I rather learn first, because THAT process is priceless. Even if l fail miserably ill have some experience and knowledge before give...

    Trial & Error - Playing with my CBR600RRA suspension

    The point wasnt to give advice, but to chronicle my efforts, and to use this thread as my reference point instead of pen and paper. I know lm not a suspension expert, but backing off is just isnt part of my mindset. The idea is for members with more know how to provide guidance, as oppose to a...

    After landing me a cbr600RRA and dying to get more grip out of the bike. I opted to learn my own suspension so l could set it , cause who doesnt like to tinker with their bikes. I hope this can serve as some inspiration to others to learn how to set their own suspension with some help from other...

    King and Bathurst where to park

    Wellington. It a fast walk from that intersection and you'll find other bikes parked there too. It's a pretty popular and busy street so no one is really going to try to mess around with your bike. Although at night there are a few clubs open so expect some drunken jackasses may see your bike...

    Sportbikes are Not beginner Bikes

    I know most people would hate to hear this, but from a new rider perspective forget the supersport as a first bike. I will agree that depending on your experience 250cc or sub 600cc can get boring fast, but im very happy with how easy l learnt to ride on a sv650S ABS. Since the bike is so...
