Hey guys,
So i own a 2010 FZ6R that i have slowly been converting to Street Fighter.
I am in the process of completing a successful front end conversion to the Adjustable Upside Down forks, brakes etc (Thanks to some machining and custom bits) as well as the Ohlins fully adjustable rear shock made for our bike.. However in the meantime i am looking for a solution to my issue as i am coming up to another track day.
Basically, Under cornering i feel the front doesn't have that 'planted sensation' and feels like it is bouncing around because the suspension is too soft.
I have a feeling my forks have been misaligned from an accident i had a while ago, and will be having them looked at on Tuesday and fixed if needed.
I am going to have a new set of tyres installed as my current ones are a bit worn, Just to be sure i get the best benefit out of this fix.
I have also been recommended to use heavier fork oil to keep the front end more stable, and i was wondering what your thoughts were.. or if anyone had any other cheap and/or easy remedies for my issue to hold me through.
If it makes any difference my rear shock is on setting 5 and i weight roughly 70kg (154lbs)
Cheers
Thanks
