SP1 suspension

[salty21]

does anybody know the standard settings?

Had a look on the web for a pdf owners manual as it's usually in there but only seem to find them for the sp2 which has a slightly different setup if my research is right?

Wouldn't worry too much about the "standard" settings. Set the preload for yourself, and then twiddle with the compression and rebound until it feels good for your type of riding.

on the 600rr the standard setup was pretty close and i just left it there.

I can pretty much get a feel for preload and compression damping and tweek it to roughly what i want, rebound damping is what puzzles me though and rear suspension i usually just set to standard and leave it. Would just be handy to know for a starting point is all.

How is rebound damping puzzling?

It controls how quickly the forks extend, so when you come off the brakes for the forks, and when you apply the brakes for the rear shock.

I guess you've seen this?

never really been into suspension setting's until now, i'd normally just put it to standard and ride it but the sp is a bit harder than normal bikes so requires more attention to make it more useable.

Thanks for the links

This is an American website (read of that what you will) but I found it quite useful before. I know they also give the Honda models funny names, so not sure if it's even listed here (I don't know my Hondas! I think the SP1 is a VTR or RC51?).

I would stick woth a dual rear compound, with a soft rear i ended up ripping up it up no problem. Theres a lot of torque..


Corsa IIIs, to me, seemeded to suit the bike well

Have fun!
