Performance bikes Suspension #'s

Just wanted to post the suspension numbers from the performance bikes magazine article. These #'s are supposed to be for track/performance riding.

REAR SHOCK
preload--10mm of thread showing above top lockring.
rebound--1 1/2 turns out from full in.
compression--2 turns out from full in.
FORKS
preload--5 lines showing.
rebound--1/2 turn out from full in.
compression--2 turns out from full in.

They also say if your running the 12r on the track to run your tire pressure at 31psi front and 30psi rear.

Hope this may help someone!!!

Jay

The 31,30 is pretty standard for race tires.... Goal is for Pirellis 36 psi hot....
So you start baseline at 31,30 and adjust accordingly till you get 36 psi Hot...
