Hey everybody, new to this forum, just got an 09 gixxer 750 all black!! I started with a Ninja 250 just to learn on 3 months ago, got used to it, decided to go with an 04 r6, rode it for a couple weeks, didn't like it switched to an 09' 750, and I LOVE IT!! Even though it was snowing when I rode it home
ANYWAYS, just wanted to say hi
Thanks guys for the welcome, quick question, I softened the suspension a little bit because i'm only 135lbs and 5'5. Soooooo, kinda short lol, do you think that will be a problem??
Can't help you out on that one. I'm 6'1". Welcome though. I'm a newbe as well. I started out on a Ninja 650R. Holy s-it batman is all I've got to say. My 09 750 puts a smile on my face just starting it. I cream everytime I get over 6k rpm and those secondaries kick in. If I go a whole year without a speeding ticket it will be an act of god.
Actually, I'm up in Manitoba, Canada. We had a snow dump last week, melted away, and it just started to snow again today, BUT tomorrow its 6 degrees celcius, mainly cloudy with no snow . I know you guys are thinking wtf...but hey, I'll take what I can get, over here, our winters can go minus 50 celcius with the windchill...that would be...about -58F for you guys. The average being about -35 to -40 all winter long ..so like I said...I'll take what I can get

Welcome.. im 5'4'' 140 lbs so i feel your pain.....lol... how exactly did you soften it? If you adjust the rear spring to lower it a little it will effect your handling but if you adjust the compression settings it shouldnt adversly effect your handling too much unless to over do it...
Like many many wise people said to me here "Have an experienced suspension guy set the suspention for you" I tried to do it myself but just made a mess of it... I set it back to stock via the owners manual but it still dont feel like it did before i messed with it.. so, just a note of caution..

Godd luck with it
Thanks! And as for softening the suspension, I had the guys at the dealership do it for me. Still not soft enough though lol. I've JUST got the very balls of my feet touching the ground...barely...and as for pics, I'll post some up tomorrow, I haven't had a chance to really enjoy the bike yet, let alone take pictures and post them. But thanks again for the welcome everybody!
