Suspension Tuning

[OB_Mambo Kid]

I got these from 2wf's review of the Busa.I think the rider was 200 lb but I'm no longer sure... Should be a good starting place for you. Go out a click on everything if it is too firm.

Does anyone know where I can find the correct suspension tuning for my body weight? I am 210lbs

Thanks

the article states that the rider they set it up for weighs 175 lbs
I weigh the same 175 lbs and have the bike set up as above but find it a little to hard for my liking to much Preload on the rear, mind you this was for a stock bike mine has an Akro. and the Pair removed so is lighter.

I weigh closer to 200 lbs and I found w2f's settings to be pretty good for me. When I installed Dymags on the bike it was unbelieveably hard. On a suggestion from someone here, I went up two clicks all around and it was vastly better.

I'll say one thing: the recommended settings in the manual are not at all suitable for me! I tried them out and went for a ride on the highway and began wallowing like at water buffalo in heat (or something like that).
