Cheers Joe, are you sure mate?

Im pretty sure when i was adjusting it that i read that you adjust the compression and go out for a spin and then keep doing that over bumps and heavy braking etc until the cable tie is down to about 10mm from bottoming out.

Whatever way i was going it was going down more and more until i couldnt adjust it any further and it has probably about an inch and a half of travel still left that i just cant use as i couldnt adjust it any further.

If you've got more info though ill take it

Not very good advice there Nog, everybody has a different style and suspension should be tuned to individuals style as well as weight.
A good example is Lorenzo and Rossi, their setting are completely different yet both are exceptionally fast riders.
My sons and I are reasonably quick riders and anytime we have ridden together we have all kept pace, if we swap bikes we struggle to reach the same pace, because we have  very different suspension settings.

Much talk on suspension adjustments are track related and they do not transfer well to dodgy country roads.
You need to comprise between handling and comfort.
As a start point.
Set the static sag on the forks to 30mm,  turn the Rebound and compression adjusters to the standard settings
Set the static sag on the rear to 20mm and the rebound and compression adjusters to their standard settings.

Take it for a spin and see how it feels

Yeh i did all that guys and had the missus out with a ruler measuring the rider sag and then once id got that sorted i got the settings off of Nitron and i zero'd the rear shock, i got the front rebound adjusted back and forward until i had sorted out as much of the juddering on the front as i could and then i went onto the front compression.......but no matter what i do there is still far too much of the front shock that im not using.


The softer i got it then the much better it felt but i cant do anything  else with it now without throwing more money at it.


It is set up to be a track bike and the previous owner i think must have had it just for that purpose.


Trading in is the way forward for sure. I can always buy another in future but this one is killing me.


Gimme the MT07.....non adjustable front.......otherwise known as no foccing about ........ok maybe stick on a better shock but one that i get the chance to spec for the type of riding that i do instead of picking up from someone elses settings.
