Thanks for sharing. I may have to try that. How much do you weigh?
I'm 6'3" at 215 pounds in street clothes, aggressive back road rider.Thanks for sharing. I may have to try that. How much do you weigh?
You won't know until you try, KRT setup all the bikes at the Sepang ZX-10R launch with those recommended settings for the motojournalists. I imagine there was quite a bit of diversity in the rider weights.:dontknow:Hmm im 5'9 160 lbs....O well I may just leave the rear shock alone and perhaps ill be good.
Let me know how you like it Mike, I think dropping the nose by taking out preload made the biggest difference of all.I'm going to have to give that a shot I'm 6' 215 so that should be pretty good

Try just taking the two turns of preload out of the front forks, I will be very surprised if you don't like the improvement in turn in agility.Hmm im 5'9 160 lbs....O well I may just leave the rear shock alone and perhaps ill be good.
Well I have not had an issues with the bike with the stock settings. But I really don't know anything about setting up a motorcycles suspension. I am a quick rider on the track (upper intermediate) but I have never been taught how to dial in a suspension and what to look for to know that the setting are either wrong or right. I have watched some Dave Moss stuff, but all that does is seem to confuse me more haha. The bike doesn't have any negative attributes that I know of when riding hard except front end could be a touch stiffer looking at how far the forks compress i guess. But again I am just guessing. I am faster on the zx10r than I was on my 2015 R1, both with stock suspension settings.You won't know until you try, KRT setup all the bikes at the Sepang ZX-10R launch with those recommended settings for the motojournalists.

How are the standard settings working for you?
I've heard a statistic that most sportbike riders never touch the stock suspension settings on their bike. They either don't know what to do or are afraid they're going to mess something up.Well I have not had an issues with the bike with the stock settings.

That makes sense, I haven't had a chance to ride the new R1 yet but from what I hear it's very track focused, as in a very narrow band setup. The Gen 5 has a much more broad band setup judging from the limited miles I've ridden mine and will work well for a wide variety of riders on the stock settings. I'm a bit of a tinkerer though and if I think I can improve something I'll give it a try. The Panigale 959 is much like the R1, very track oriented and finding settings that will work over the wide range of roads I normally ride is proving a bit of a setup challenge. In the end, I may have to accept some compromises in the ride quality as the frame design (or lack of a frame) is very stiff and unyielding. It all comes down to that "feel" thing again.I am faster on the zx10r than I was on my 2015 R1, both with stock suspension settings.
