Yeah my homework reading starts again now, just with a different topic! To be honest I'm hoping to improve it just with a setup, at first anyway, because I don't really know what it's capable of (or not) in standard trim.

I know from reading on here that the stock kit isn't held in particularly high regard, but suspension setup\performance is SO subjective and there are so many variables in play...

Sadly the standard suspension is “Shocking” (no pun intended), even if you spend the money on new springs, re valving etc you will still not be happy and will have wasted a fair bit of cash for nothing, believe me when I say a decent shock and new fork internals are a must, I am 63, admittedly I used to be a club racer and a trackdayer so suspension is important in my mind, but I will reiterate, the standard Evo suspension is REAL bad.

Please read the thread I posted and that Luddite kindly put the link to on his post.

Check out the vid attached from a trackday i did, never adjusted the suspension from the settings I have for the road, Willbers rear, K-Tech front internals.
