What were the suspension settings for the 170-190lbs bikes at Inside Pass?

Also, one spark plug per head?

Thanks.

Josh,
Only one plug per head (cylinder). It also has a smaller thread diameter to allow the valves to be bigger.

<shrug> Don't have an owners' manual yet...and they wouldn't let me near the bikes with my Gerber out so I could count the clicks, LOL. My guess is they were set to whatever the owners' manual will list for that weight range.

And yes, one plug (but from what I understand, *two* injectors) per cylinder, for the very reason mentioned above - smaller plug footprint equals more real estate for intake/exhaust valves.

Josh,

Something to consider: Since the Inside Pass 1125R's are all pre-production bikes, it's possible, likely even, that their suspension settings are different from what will be optimum on the production machines.
