Like Erik Buell Racing said the r and cr have way more power
your not going to just roll through faster than the blast.
but if you gear the 1125 down and use the motor for braking and power.
The overall distance will be covered in much faster time.
Enter slow roll on hard apex out. |

Ok guys, I was in a rush this morning and didn't have my manual handy, so I half ass softened up the suspension. I set the rear preload to the first notch, and softened the rear dampening by 8 clicks (should of done 4), left the rebound (honestly forgot about it!), and undid the front compression and dampening half a turn. I left preload as is.
I hit the cemetery on the way into work, and on my first run I maintained about 58mph during my occasional glances down at the gauges. Best part was, I got stuck behind a front loader full of dirt, so I am sure I can do better next round! 
Thank you guys, I will get it professionally adjusted now. |

Set the rear to 2 or 3 preload, 1 is to soft, unless you weight 120lbs. Turn the front all the way counter clockwise and then back 1/4 turn. The manual's rebound settings are pretty close. I found compression to be to stiff by 4 clicks and almost a full turn on the front. That's for the less than 170 recommended settings. |

When it came time to get new rubber I went with Z6s and big improvement over stock, turns in much easer. But in the really tight stuff my Honda Hawk GT will leave it behind. I've seen 250 Ninjas outrun liter bikes in the tight stuff. |

'I left preload as is.' Proper front suspension tuning places preload as your primary variable the compression and then rebound. Less front preload = more turn in. compression to steady suspension and rebound for quick recovery. This isn't rocket science Froggy relax the front preload drive it around long enough to decide and try it again. It takes a few tries to find that happy place.
Once you get there compression and rebound tuning follow. Start at C/R factory settings. Compression: If the handlebars vibrate reduce compression until they don't. Rebound: if it feels like the front end is collapsing and not coming back up fast enough reduce your rebound, if it seems to be jacking you back too fast increase rebound to slow the process down.
You are an expert now.
