Suspension setting sugestions

[too many toys]

I was just looking for some suggestions on what suspension settings I should start with. Im 6'1" and weigh 280 lbs. Most of my riding is in NYC with the occasional jaunt out to some country roads. When braking hard the nose dives pretty far and sometimes when I hit potholes the bike feels like its bottoming out. I mostly ride alone.

Im using Pilot Power tires and I just want to get a little better feeling of control. Thanks for the help

With your weight, you definitely need to crank preload - probably to a maximum. However, this will do only so much. Ultimately, the right solution would be to replace stock springs with harder ones.

Here is an old post I found:

Search some more. I am sure you are not the first person to ask this question.

^^^ with your weight it's a given that your gonna have to upgrade your fork springs. You can send your forks out 2 a place like Racetch and have em rebuilt with the proper springs 4 ur weight or if your mechanically inclined you could just buy the components and do it yourself. Either way that's the only way your gonna get the ride and feel that your looking 4. When I rebuild my suspension on my busa front & back it felt like a totally different bike!! Felt more stable turning, handling, and braking. One of the best mods I've done to my busa by far
