Now i finally own one, i was wondering if it could do with any suspension tweaking to make it better.
its being taken to graeme france to have a suspension overhaul (maybe cbr6 rear shock and race internals on the front Twisted Evil ) amongst other things, but are there any basic suspension changes that help significantly?
cheers

(i know its hasty talking about this since i've only ridden it up the road a few times and i still have to wait almost 4 months to insure it Embarassed , but im getting really excited about it! Very Happy )
