Thats me. Pull me over next time.

2 shops i'll never go to in melb are:

* Race Replica (Absolute cock-head, dont like the guy)
* Bikes and Bits in Brighton (Mate of my brothers and he ripped me off)

Peter Stevens (city) are excellent, All west (Melton) Brian is very good with bikes and does alot on my bike and also Bikes Plus are good for gear and tyres.

Was that Phil at race Rep ?
He's gone sacked.
All West is that the one near the boat Shop and Alan Mance?

it could have been phil not sure of the name but a real arrogant, smart arse.

Yeah all west is the one next to the boat shop. Brain is awesome and knows his stuff.

I'm definitely NO expert,... so I spoke to my Kawasaki mechanic, and he told me that most factory bikes are set with their suspensions in the middle settings - ie, turn the Preload all the way to the softest setting, then count either the "clicks" or number of turns, all the way through until the limit (hardest setting), then calculate the "midline" - usually 2 and a half clicks from either limit.

The other options are to start from the softest settings, and work up.
Or measure the bike sag, G-sag, etc (see other thread re suspension settings).

Hope this helps.
