This may have been discussed a lot before in which case I apologise but the past year of owning my fazer I never bothered to check the rear preload on the rear shock. It was on setting 4 which I found out in the Haynes is standard, so I did a bit of research on the old forum and set it to 6. My front fork adjusters are stuck on 4 rings showing but apparently that's okay anyway. Honestly, even with tyres in need of replacement the bike has never handled so good. Part of that is repairing / refurbing the forks and using 15w oil but my mate who I ride often with on his bandit even remarked how great the bike seemed today, he couldn't keep up especially in the corners when I was in the lead and pushing the pace a bit more.
So what suspension settings do you run? A bit gutted I never adjusted it before but also really happy I've just discovered it now whilst doing a lot of other things like k & n and a good service with new oil, iridium plugs and STP fuel cleaner (awesome and can actually feel a difference). Bike has never felt so good and I've never enjoyed biking so much. Next month is stainless pipes, new tyres and a carb balance then I'm all set for the summerÂ
