Supreme bike set up suggestions required please.

Thanks chaps,tyre pressures staying put then, i know people differ on this one.

was just checking whether my theory of sometimes softer is better & it seems it can be.

the bike is an 01 plate so ive got the fork adjustors & i will eventually throw money at the suspension but if anyone has a particular setting that they've already tried and tested with the stock kit it will save me the methodical fine tuning. i was thinking i've had front & back on stiffest so i'll maybe try half way on each & see how that feels & take it from there.

the bike has only done 11k miles so although im sure some new kit will be beneficial the suspension can't be completely shot yet.

I thnk you are correct in having a midway starting point and work from there. It is hard to get an ideal set-up from anybody here with all the variables involved. For instance take me....I'm 16st and you are 15st.. I use different handle bars which are lower to standard, which means more weight on the front. The roads I drive (Ireland) are different to yours and may even vary between places in your own country. My speeds styles, while could be close to yours...still might vary. My tyres could have same tyre pressure, but might be a different brand with different characteristics ect ect. The only real way of going about it, is to do what you are doing now. Start at a mild set up and work your way up and reach the best point. But as noted, you could be riding beyond the limits of the budget suspension.
