Should we start a setup-performance thread?

No slip on's or levers, oil or bling just suspension, tires, brakes, gear and other track day/twistie improvements?

With all the folks that have been to track days and hitting up the twisties regularly we should be able to get a good discussion going.

Any takers?

I'm trying to find someone in SoCal who can set up mine for me actually. Looking for someone who can set/adjust my sag , compression/rebound , and height. I'm 5'10" - 140lbs..

Anyway, I think this thread will be useful for some of us. Unfortunately, it seems a lot of people on this forum (k8-600/750) seem to not care about these things.. The k6-k7 forums have a lot more info in regards to suspension.

For anyone in SoCal... check out Catalyst Reaction in Tustin. Tige owns the shop and he set mine up about a month ago. Takes about 20min and its $25. Worth every cent! The bike handles so much better now and turns it a lot quicker than when I had it on the stock settings.
