Need some help adjusting suspension.

Post by toy752 » Mon Dec 03, 2012 2:52 pm

Anyone here willing to give me a hand adjusting my suspension? My ninja 650 didn't have any ajustments except for preload on the rear. I have no clue where to start even after watching 10 clicks.

$40 at a ridesmart track day is tough to beat for an adjustment. I don't even bother with it, for that cheap I just take it to roger.
