Default 2002 zx6r Suspension settings

Hey all finally took my new bike out of town and to some of the "curvy" roads in Florida that are near me. The bike is definately squishy at the moment. I checked all the settings with the manual and the bike is set to bone stock settings. I was wondering if anyone around 170lbs had a pretty good setup with their suspension that they could share. I know that everyone is different but just trying to get in the right ballpark to be tweaking them in. I do not ride track but I would say I am a pretty agressive when it comes to corners etc... Thanks for any input, info or links.

This is a must for a place to start, not setting the sag and trying to adjust your suspension is not good. Follow the directions and get a couple of buddies to help. If you have no help a local performance bike shop, NOT THE DEALER, should be able to set it for you for around 45.00.
Good luck.

That is a great website for setting the suspension right. Get a couple of buddies to help you. One to hold the bike and one to measure. Trust me, it easier that way.

Where is Florida are you? I live in Ft. Myer on the west coast.
