Jon, TastyTarmac is just around the corner from you. Why not give him a shout?

Everyone's been singing him praises on how he's transformed their bike with his suspension adjustments.

It'll save you loads!


Who said nothing is impossible? There are a few here who do that everyday.

I had mine done at the Donny trackday and so did ZX10Rebel,  it cost £40 and we both noticed the difference,  Reccomended.     :D

 :D

had mine done at Snetterton, best £40 I have ever spent

did the first session, then had a chat with the bloke who measured static sag etc etc, tweaked the bike to where he thought it was good

then after all the remaining sessions throughout the day he would tweak and fettle till it was perfect!

a different bike and has made a massive difference
Thought for the day:  Never hold your farts in.  They travel up your spine and into your brain and that's where shitty ideas come from!
