The above settings are for 05/06 ZX6R 636's.

There is no single setting that works best for 130 lbs to 250 lbs riders. This must be set to the weight of the rider. Front settings aslo depend on how hard the rider uses the front brakes (hard chargers need this firmer due to increased front braking firmness).

Also, the settings for just one rider compared to a rider and a passenger are completely different as well. If you sometimes ride with a passenger then you'll need the rear stiffer than what is normally good for just a driver alone.

 

First note the setting you have on your bike now (before altering) and write them down. That way you can go back to them if you want. You can do this by noting how many turns clockwise it goes until it stops. Then just do the same amount of turns in the counterclockwise direction from full closed.

i was taught by dave moss at catalyst reaction suspension tuning what to look for when tuning your suspension. If your sag is 30 front and rear that’s good. Next is your front fork. If you have a front stand that supports the forks put it on that because you have to compress the fork. To do this hold the front break, pull up on the bars, then push down AS HARD AS YOU CAN! This is to try and simulate hitting a bump. You should probably open your rebound all the way to exaggerate the effect I will talk about next. Plus if your rebound is too hard, which more then likely its not, you will be past the point your looking for. If your rebound is too soft the fork will bounce up and down before it comes to rest. You should be able to notice this easiest with your rebound all the way out (soft). This is tough to see since there is only a couple of mm of movement, if that, so look close. You want the bike rebound after compression and stop at the natural resting point, with no bouncing. Not bounce back and forth like you noticed with the rebound all the way out. This is a very “touchy� observation, hopefully this makes sense. Compression is basically feedback from the bike. Typically your just want to the bike to do what you tell it and not get any feed back from it, so set it to ½-1 turn off of all the way soft. Next press down on both the front and rear of the bike at the same time. Adjust the rear to match the front. Both the front and rear of the bike should then float together. Good luck

 

oh yeah, once the oil is hot from riding repeat the rebound adjustment

 

Those setting were reference settings from Sport Rider Magazine. Adjust to your weight & riding style accordingly. These settings worked good for me. I am 170 lbs without gear, ride mostly street but take turns fast. The settings also worked very well at the trackday but I did need more front preload and compression dampening. Like I said; It's just a base setting reference.
