EDIT: OLD THREAD, I do not have the article anymore... sorry

I found the article about suspension in Cycle’s Sportbike 2003 real good. Cycle World prints it. I scanned it but for copyright issue I can’t post it in here… But If some of you want it PM me your e-mail address and I’ll send it. Real good tips on how to tuned your suspension.

I'll take one please. I've been playing with spring preload, but haven't messed with any damping yet. Would like some guidelines.

Re: Suspension settings article....
I have a 1998 Fireblade and am re-doing the front forks with new springs (Ktech) and oil. Does anyone know what grade oil to use? Standard is 7w, but I was thinking about goin thinner to 5w with harder springs and a smaller airgap??
