  3. Get your suspension set up for You. Money well spent to get it done by a pro.

  7. This advice cannot be over-stated. It will transform your experience compared to stock suspension settings. It'll be like two different bikes.

    Welcome!

  10. I'm on the South Coast, no idea who's good up your way.

    I got my suspension tweaked on a track ages ago. I made sure to make a note of all the settings.
    I had to improvise a bit converting the track settings to work on normal roads (i.e. dreadful tarmac), it was mainly a case of reducing the damping and slackening very slightly the preload. Ride height is left the same for road and track.

  11. Hi and welcome, had a couple of 749, still have 1.

    Agree with suspension set up. Never thought I would be able to notice the difference, but, £40 for 100% suspension to set the bike up at a track day, transformed the bike. Even I could feel the difference.

    Keep it well serviced and enjoy the bike.
