I'm after getting my bike setting up. I'm not looking to modify with Ohlins or anything like that, just optimise whats there already. I guess the thing is set as standard for a little 10 stone Italian guy, and I havent been that weight for a good while...
between Exeter and around the M5 to Bristol would be ideal!
Thanks!

JHS Racing in Bristol [keynsham just between Bath and Bristol to be precise].

''Suspension set-up service just £34.99''
https://www.jhsracing.co.uk/suspension_services.htm

I'd give them a ring to just to check they can work on the bike and suspension in question but would of thought it'd be fine, good lot Thumbs Up

I could have a go, but I'm not sure my riding skills are up to figuring i need another click on the front compression damping, or the rear rebound screwing in a 1/8th of a turn!
Mechanically I'm more than happy to adjust, but i'm not good enough at the riding to know what's what! For the sake of £35 I'll get an expert on it. I'll jot down the standard settings first though!

£35 well spent. The bike feels slightly more agile, but still stable. The new set up has also reduced a habit for the front to dive on the brakes. Money well spent, thanks for the tip Matt.
