09 aggressive suspension settings

[Luc R]

I can't find any settings online for an aggressive setup for my suspension. All i find is for 2005 settings. Can anybody help me out??

Hmmm.... there are no magic numbers that work for everyone--only baseline settings that make a lot of assumptions about weight and riding style.

Set your static sag at about an inch at the front, and an inch and a quarter in the rear.

Then research "setting compression and rebound" or, better yet, make friends with a racer and learn to "feel" what proper rebound and compression feels like, for the way you ride, when pushing down on the front or rear of your bike.

^ [up]. Take the time to custom tune it to you - weight, riding style, differing brake components all make for different setups being the best for individual riders. The 2005 settings you mentioned should be close enough to get you started anyways.

- Suspension setup 1
- Suspension setup 2

Also, keep in mind the kind of roads you ride.. Too stiff on bumpy roads = bad..

Well the only thing is that I don't Ave any preload lines in my suspension

 

[Rhino1]

You don't need the lines. I'm assuming you have an '09+ Buell? Preload should be set by turning the red adjusters atop your form legs all the way in (clockwise) and turning them equal rotations out until you find the right preload for your weight.

The adjuster that uses a flat head, or the bigger one that uses a wrench

big nut is spring preload, screw is compression, screw at bottom of legs is rebound

 

[Rhino1]

No, screw at the bottom of leg is compression--screw on top is rebound.

Grab you a manual off of Buellmods.com or post up if they don't have it. Has Detailed explanations on suspension setups.

I tried downloading the manual a few times'but it always showed up as unsucessful. Is there anyway I can get a picture of the suspension settings page out of the 09 manual??
