Suspension settings, anyone had a fiddle?

Got a Halfords pressure gauge for a fiver or something like that and it works really well, no problems getting it on the valves etc.

I got this from Ebay and it's turned out to be the best pressure gauge I've ever had.  Solid brass nozzle and totally accurate readings..can't go wrong for a tenner.

I think some of you might be confusing optimal shock settings with a shock that has lost its damping. I have no idea what mileage the OEM shock goes at, but it almost certainly needs replaced / rebuilt at 20000 miles

Normally the OEM is not rebuildable, but it can be done by installing a Schrader valve allowing it to be rebuilt multiple times.

A few postings on the thread below for info - Caledonian Engineering & Revs Racing seem to be the places that can rebuild them. I assume both use the replacement valve technique although I might be wrong...

You could also DIY - a few months ago Practical Sportsbikes had an article on how to fit a Schrader valve, didn't look too hard
