Penske and some of the other suspension suppliers have good charts as well. welcome to KF and thanks for the pics



edit: sheesh, I am still learning how to ride and work on the rides!

HI Dragone, thanks for fixing the pic link for me. I agreed with you that the fork basically have zero adjustability :-). When I change the fork oil out after I bought the bike it look like black sludge but I did put new spring in there and its much better. What do you mean by "Known water damage?"

I wish there is a tool that you can check rake. My front fork tube are sticking out past the top triple clamp about 15mm (stock setting) so I could raised it up a little if I want to calm down the front end?

What do you mean by "Known water damage?"
The Electronic Anti Dive System

I have not ran that system, but have only read some of the complaints on the web.

True on the dogbone alterations/size as well. It alters ratios/stroke as well as ride height. A tricky subject on setup

there is a tool to do that. Tape measure and a string! lol http://www.sportrider.com/tech/146_0310_art/index.html

Great information! it confirms all of the things i told in my earlier post, except for the braking wobbble, that might be a manufacturer specific issue.
