Performance Upgrades GSX-R600 Setting Sag

depends on the age of the oil. The older the oi is the more the oil flow changes as it warms up from sludge to very thin hot oil. Hence needing to change the fork oil very often.

Warm/hot oil softens the rebound rate, correct? By a lot?

Hey Dave its me Leo again. I've notice within the last 3 weeks now. I've been getting lots of steady chatter on lean. I have a 09 zx6r w/ BPF's of course. On the straight i get a smooth ride considering LA (Cali) can have its bumping streets. My current settings are 11clicks in on preload, 1.5out on rebound, and 3out on compression. Of course i have old fork oil, hence why i have my rebound almost all the way out. My physical weight is about 210lbs. Im also a heavy breaker. What can you suggest?

[OnTheThrottleTV]

@sematicracer the chatter could be coming from a sticking brake piston, a pinched fork leg or bottoming out. Do you have a zip tie on one fork leg to show how much travel you are using? If you are bottomed out on braking, then you are using the bottom of the stroke most of the time. Also find my video on front wheel alignment ad follow those steps.

i ride a 99 gixxer SRAD are the settings the same for this as the ones you show here

[OnTheThrottleTV]

@42ghostrider no, as the SRAD doesn't have high speed damping, plus the fork and shock springs are much softer. Geometry is similar though and SAG numbers would be the same. You would set compression and rebound much more to the stiff/slow end of the adjustment for forks ad shock.

when first tuning the rear should the rear be always topped out?

[OnTheThrottleTV]

@deerman1212 Yes! Always make sure that the rear of the bike is fully extended. Some shocks have top out springs and others don't. No top out springs means that you have to have free sag.

what is the 2004 gsxr 600 suspension capable of i am 200 pounds no gear

[OnTheThrottleTV]

@deerman1212 Ideally you would need fork springs as that is really the weak based on your weight, plus 10 or 15w fork oil unless they have been revalved. You would certainly add preload to the rear shock.

where is part 2

[OnTheThrottleTV]

@mrmaniac79 I tried to put part 2 as a video response but I can't see that it worked. Sorry, try searching for 'Performance Upgrades GSX-R600 Setting Sag 2' or check out our channel.

From the vault comes this sag setting video of a Gixxer six. A trustee viewer had pointed out that this video had disappeared from our line up.
