HONDA CBR600RR [2003 --] NOBODY TELLS YOU ABOUT THESE SUSPENSION SETTINGS [BUT I WILL DO] 

Lmfao

1.75x i watched

I gues my channel is not for you guys 😉

Thank you😂💀

@@TheOldMechanic why are you so insulted by people watching your video but just with a normal speaking pace ? People don't like being talked to like they are inept children

Agreed!

👍🏻👊🏻🏍

Glad I could help! 👍🏻👊🏻

Happy to help! 👍🏻👊🏻😉

Thanks mate. 👍🏍

don't listen to this old fart. He's blatantly wrong. forget the manual and adjust the suspension to your own weight and riding style.

Thanks

Anche se non parlo italiano, ma il traduttore di Google mi ha aiutato. Grazie mille per le tue parole molto gentili! Greetz da The Old Mechanic, cavalca salva 👨‍🔧--->🏍

I am glad to know that my maintenance video's are going to help you to get your bike ready to ride. Please pay extra attention to the brakes..! Thats for me allways a high priority (safety) item.

Hi Artem.. hmm checking a second hand rear shock isn't easy. I would look carefully if its not leaking. Push it in a few times and see if it comes back, with some delay.. With a second hand shock you never know what the previeus owner ad done with it.. Greetz from The Old Mechanic, ride save 👨‍🔧--->🏍 Don't forget to subribe to my channel.

Glad you enjoyed it! 👊🏻👍🏻😉🙏🏻

Welcome 😊 🏍 👨‍🔧

Ciao Alessandro, l'impostazione predefinita delle sospensioni per la tua bici è nel manuale del proprietario. (Google Traduttore) Saluti dal vecchio meccanico, e guida sicuro.

Thanks 👍🏻

Hi Dennis, I can't answer that, sorry. You have to look that up in the CBR600RR 2010 service manual. I don't have that perticular service manual. Greetz from The Old Mechanic 👨‍🔧--->🏍

Just start with 1 turn 😉

@@TheOldMechanic thanks 👍

My personal static sag has definitely increased as I've got older, more supportive underpants have helped... ... ...

correct.....not everybody is the same weight and ability......you should start out on std settings and make sure they are set to std, even from the dealership they may be off......alot of tuners are fullof shit i will give this dude props on that......do your homework find reputable tuner if needed.......for majority the stock suspension is fine, play with the clickers if bike feels weird (thats why they are there)......if your light or heavy get appropriate springs.....get the bike balanced is most important thing, the clickers are just fine tuning......good suspension makes huge difference......keep your stuff maintained and tires are also very important as well as pressure ........but yeah its not rocket science

Good, go with 1 step at the time.. Greetz from The Old Mechanic, ride save 👨‍🔧--->🏍

Hi, oww yes absolute, but you have to look in your owners manual what for your bike the standard settings are. If your weight is higher then about 80 kg, I would put the spring preload (front & rear) 1 click / turn stiffer. 🏍 👨‍🔧

PLEASE don't do it like this! This can bring you in trouble putting "booknumbers" in an older bike, even don't knowing wheigt, riding ability of the rider and the environment! Even on a New bike this will not work, this are just numbers but for what riding style etc??! Go to a tuner or a person who knows about suspension and riding performance:)

@@MrMedicusNeo Hi thank you for your comment. I absolute don't agree with you and I explain why that is. At first I allways go according what the official Factory Service Manual tells you for the standard settings. The standard suspension setting are allways THE golden rule to set up the suspension. When the designers 'tells' you about what the standard settings are, they come to that conclusion after a lot of days on their factory track, and according to the test riders feedback a standard seting for the suspension is set, so to say. The standard setting is absolute perfect for daily rides (roads). Its a different story when you go with your bike on a circuit, there the asfalt is perfect, with no bumps holes.. Those guys at the (Honda) factory are not stupid you know and when ever they design a new bike there is a lot at stake.. But ofcourse you are free to go to the specialised suspension guru's and leave your money there. My channel is about doing your own motorcycle maintenance with knowledge that I collegted in the previous (over) 40 years. Greets from the old mechanic

@@TheOldMechanic thanks. Golden settings don't exist in the real World, and I don't say that honda is "stupid". But you are definitly wrong doesnt matter how many years of experience you have. You can "tune" your bike on your own when knowing how to do it the right way. People spend hundrets of Dollars for exhausts and other stuff. So its ok to spend maybe 50-80 dollars setting the bike correct. :) have a nice day (I do suspension settings so I know what I'm talking about).

@@MrMedicusNeo We never agree and thats okay with me. I stopped arguing a long time ago with suspenision setting 'guru's simply because thats the way they earn their money. I allways stick to the Factory Service Manual, and inthere is the the Standard suspension setting, and the best way to go. Have a nice day, greets from The Old Mechanic.

The biggest difference is that that is for track. Everyone has a track set-up and everyone has a street set-up. Not every street is made the same so the main goal is comfort + as much performance you can safely get without putting on extra stress on the suspension and other bike components. If you run track all the time, by all means, keep your track suspension set up on, but when you ride on a regular road, then set it up for a softer setting. If you ride the twisty roads, then slightly stiffen up your suspension but also leave enough room for when you get off the twisty roads. It's all a balance and there is nothing that's a fit all type of situations set up, ya just have to swap depending on your situation.

Hi Luis, I can't comment on the Haynes manual, as I used the Honda service manual

You are welcome!

Glad to hear that!

Hi Mihai, no thanks. Greetz from The Old Mechanic, ride save 👨‍🔧--->🏍

The seats are so thin already it's hard to really do that. You can lower the front end just a tad. Like not even visually noticable. That will help you with your initial tip in going into the curves as well. Ask AMA racers they raise the rear of the bike an 1" and lower the front a tad on some of those bikes.

I have the same issue. Have you found anything yet? I thought adjusting the spring would help lower it.

Hi Enrique, I don't have a perticular website to go to. When ever I see a service manual I download it

yes, but you might wanna go online and check the exact amount of turns, there can be a slight difference. Just look up, bike model/year stock suspension factory settings :) The way you do it however is the same. :D

Hi Seb, actualy I don't know, maybe put your question on a GS forum. And let me know if thats possible. I am curious. 😉👍🏻👊🏻

@@TheOldMechanic !!! I ask the people from TracTive Suspension ® direct! and they told me that you can do it no problems and of course you will have increased seat hieght and ground clearance of approx 25 mm! Im looking to purchase X-TREME + HPA!!! Regards!

@@sebasvertical great to know

Hi OverKill.. good question ! What I do if this was my bike. I would first write down the settings that your bike is on now. Then follow my video and turn it to those standard settings, go for a ride and see if for yourself if thats an improvement. If not you can allways go back to the settings it was on.

Hi Noorazman, I looked up the settings for your Kawasaki GTR1400 (2007) For the front fork the standard Rebound Damping Force Adjustment: First turn it fully clockwise (hard). Then ANTI clockwise to the 5th click.. But with your weight I would start at: the 3th click. THEN For the front fork spring preload: The standard is: Standard: 14 mm high. But with your weight I would start at 9 mm high. For the rear shock absorber setting: First turn it fully clockwise (hard). The standard Rebound Damping Force Adjustment 1 1/4 turns ANTI clockwise position. But with your weight I would start at: 1 turn ANTI clockwise. (The rebound adjusting screw in on the lower side of the shock absorber) Then for the rear shock absorber spring preload: First turn the knob all the way to the anti clockwise position.(soft) Then the 12th click clockwise (standard) But with your weight I would start at: the 25th click clockwise. Then take your bike for a ride and feel how your Kawasaki rides. From what you expirience you can make some fine tunings. Hopefully this helps you ! Please let us know.
