setting up suspension

[wiguy85]

hey,

i dont know what the prior owner has these settings on but i wanted to get it as close to the manual settings and tweek it from there. question is on the fork adjusters and the one on the res for the rear shock, can those adjuster screws be screwed all the way in to a stop, then backed out to what you need it??

what year is your bike?

 

[Stevenc150]

Buellmods.com most likely has a service manual for your year/model bike you can download - settings can be found in there.

Its pretty easy to set everything up, as Stevenc said, download the manual at the top of the page. I had to read the section twice, just to make sure I understood everything, but its not that hard to adjust.

once you get the how to of adjusting, when i downloaded twist of the wrist 2 i got a 15-20 minute bonus clip on how to properly set suspension and he goes over aggressive street settings track settings and normal street setting. highly recommend it

it is a 06

I set mine to the aggressive set and to my geared up weight and its amazing.

i know this not exactly what your looking for but
here is the suspension setup for the 1125

Ad I guess to answer your questions, Yes thats how you adjust the forks, down to stop, then out to your settings.

 

[wiguy85]

thats guys! setting mine up tomorrow when i get it back from the dealership. setting mine up to the specs in the chart. Are all the adjustment locations the same location on the forks as the 1125? That video was great, thanks. This is my first bike so thats just what i was looking for. Where everything is located and what it all does. I dont have a manual for it so thats what i wanted right there!!!

Owner or Service manuals have that info in decent detail. Native's link is a Service manual.
