Thanks for the reply. I'll take heed of your advice.

Hi, anyone out there who could recommend replacement Levers? I'd rather not spend ?200

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm around 85-88kg. I'll keep tweaking and keep you informed. It's in the handbook about having the ignition on, only for the rear shock. Is the S1Thou a big change compared to the other bikes?

Hi, which bikes have you ridden before the S1Thou?

Hi, me again. I tried setting the sag today, the front end was already fully backed off, the sag was only 3mm, the rear was between 15-18mm any any advice? I reduced rear damping and compression and increased front damping +2 any thoughts?

Hi, thanks for that detailed update. I'll attempt to set the sag today. I'll work it from there. Is is easy to use 'user mode' Ian

Hi Andy, may I ask you........do you feel that the S1Thou is actually like riding a racing machine? I loved my GSXR'S but this thing is on another level.

Hi, yes it was meant for you. I'm planning on setting it up this weekend. Do I still back off the front to soften the rear?

Hi, really, how did you even begin to understand how to make those changes? Impressed.

Thanks for your reply. I'll stick with rain, probably until next year. I'm determined to enjoy the thing to my maximum. I managed that with the GSXR, I want the same from the S1Thou

Hi, I'm on Whitworth Park. Any tips for the suspension set up?

Thanks. Any favourite runs from Consett?

Hi, oh shit, did you get full value back? Yeah, sorry 1100L red and black. Bullet proof but fudging scary, picking its own lines, sitting up for no reason. I had to jack up the rear shock and back off the front forks just to get it to turn! I also put a 120 on the front, which quickened up the...

Hi, yeah I'm in Spenny ATM, I'm moving soon to Chester Le Street.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Believe it or not Keilder was my favourite run on my GSXR. I live closer to Durham now so I'm blitzing round on brand new (new to me) roads, it's bloody challenging. Once I'm more used to the bike I'll take it to Keilder.

hi, yeah they sound pretty inspiring bikes. I've followed the 'dirt bike route', riding most if not all modes (trials being my favourite) in 1991 I bought the GSXR1000L, absolute Monster, great with a pillion on board not so good on your own! Then GSXR750 pre water cooled, fast, smooth but old...

......yeah, the 'salesman' told me that. I've the iconic (GSXR) B/W Do you ever get to Devils Bridge in Kirby?

Hi Jimmy, I live in County Durham, thank you for your reply.

Hi, wife imposed 'hiatus' I believe you mean! Yeah its pretty good, a bit weird. I'm using rain mode ATM so I'm missing low down grunt (which the GSXR had in spades) each time I ride I discover a bit or a 'lot' more. The most significant difference is probably braking power, it really is...

Re: Suspension Setup Thanks for the information and detail. I'll give it a try. I've encountered quite a bumpy ride from the front wheel, however referring to your comment regarding speed, it certainly improves the faster you ride. I'll get some more miles on before I try anything to radical.
