: **** Tech Doctor **** Suspension Set Up. Zed_R1000 02-21-2003, 12:55 AM Hey Dean, will you be available for some pointers on suspension at the Creek next Thursday ? I can relate to Justin's comments about not being 'planted'. Does anyone have the castle nut tool ? ( if needed ? ) Thanks http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif gsxrboy 02-21-2003, 01:06 AM The old castle nut tool, big bloody screw driver and a hammer http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Zed_R1000 02-21-2003, 01:19 AM gsxrboy said: The old castle nut tool, big bloody screw driver and a hammer http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Man you should have been at the engineering session - I mean BBQ... No short cuts there. They even had a torque wrench and used it ! Made me wonder if I should have gone over all the nuts and bolts I've fiddled with on my Gixxer...

You just have to take it easy for the first couple of laps to get some heat into the tyres. Remember on the last ride day, there was a short fella with a deformed back that I was speaking to for a while? I will proberly beable to get a set of warmers off him for the day. He is there on most ride days. You'll be right. Dean.
