Dazzler, I've only read the first two sections but I must say .... AWESOME FIND. Great information, I can actually understand it. On top of it all, FINALLY some real-life examples of what to look for when riding.
Very good mate :ayyy:

A good site if your bike has got cross ply tyres I guess :lmao:


In the fair dinkum department.....

I sussed Zeno out about these internet sites that offer info on setting suspension up and he made a good point......Most of the stuff that is published on the net is straight copy and paste and its all regurgitated from site to site......Motorcycle suspension has made massive leaps forward since a lot of that stuff was written so much so that some of those settings could very well be dangerous for for modern sportsbikes.......That made perfect scense to me and from that point forward I decided to leave it to someone who knows what they are doing.

That's fair enough Kat00, I'm sure you're right, but I'm hoping that the basics and the 'principles' of suspension haven't changed that much. I just want to learn and understand it all, even if I use a suspension expert I still need to be able to give feedback etc, and anyhow it's not like he's in the garage waiting to make adjustements (even though Zeno has always provided advice when I asked).

I would love to 'learn' from Zeno directly, but (even if I love him :)) most of the time I just can't understand him :D
