suspension settings

Ok all the experts
I went for a ride yesterday and approached a corner that I usually take at about 160kph.however,I took the corner at 180kph,well within the limites if you are concentrating,and the rear seemed to move around a little.
My compresion rear is set standard,my rebound and damping are set half a turn harder than standard (standard is 2 turns out ),.Without messing about with the front,wich is fine,are there any suggestions on other settings for the rear.I have a Michelin pilot sport on the rear.Its a 954

Re: suspension settings

How Heavy are you? Have you adjusted the propersag in the rear? Usually about 55mm with you on the bike. I would bump preload up a bit probably two turns or so.

Re: suspension settings

Personally, I wouldn't do anything based on one time around one particular turn.
If you're generally happy with it try running that turn a bunch of times and see if it's a constant and, if it is, _then_ consider adjusting something.
