So I'm trying to figure out (without the manual) how to set up my bike for my weight. Any help would be great, thanks. I'm 6'2" 235 and I ride sorta fast and I'm into the twisties. | ||

The owners manuals are listed here at the top of the 1125R Superbike Board. Here is a link to the suspension section https://www.buell.com/om/99480-09Y_en/file-5.asp#h dtopic006734 | ||

I have been the big guy (260lbs) on a Buell since 1997. circus jokes... The owners manual is a good place to start. rear preload from 1-9 is 7 for 235lbs. Look at the steps on the rear preload. Anything past 1 or 2 is a loss of suspension travel. preload winds the spring up a bit, it will likely bind before the shock will fully travel/compress. A stiffer spring with little or no preload will give you more suspension travel. Big boy springs also implies big boy valving to control those springs. :-) | ||

search youtube "2 clicks out" very helpful for suspension tuning. | ||

Dixopr mentioned "2 Clicks Out". Here is a link to Dave Moss' video on setting suspension sag, the first step you should do: http://www.onthethrottle.com/content/view/73/40/ This guy is a pro. Jeff |
