NC30 1992 suspension settings

[mjh100]

Hi guys, im converting a race bike back to road and need a standard or good base setting for the front shocks and rear suspension, they are stock units , thanks so much mike

PS, anybody in swindon or wiltshire, it would be nice to have someone to visit and bounce things off, i have no other guys around here with a 30

If stock then why not start with the current settings, see how it runs on the road and make changes if not to your liking.

Because, the shocks are wound in completely on the preload, so are solid, and the comp slots are mullered and seized, only giving one click before jamming, and the slots are so bent i cant push them further, im sourcing new fork caps but need settings for them. The rear is a cbr600 rr unit, that im changing for a recon stock item but will also need a base setting for ..........

In that case cannot help I am afraid, as I am not using stock suspension.

Thats interesting, what forks and rear shock have you fitted, does the rear shock interfear with the undertray ?

The rear is a Nitron two way setup by Nitron via RO to suit an NC30 and fits just like the original. The forks are my own creation with independent damping in each leg.

When I acquired the bike I did not play with shock settings prior to fitting the Nitron, hence no idea what a stock setting is. Have not played around with the Nitron yet, still working on the forks.

Because I found that altering the stock fork setting did not reduce the dive under brakes or the impact harshness, I went for a complete change.

IMO it is possible to get more consistent performance from stock forks by closing off the "rebound" adjusters and revalving the cartridges for more suitable compression/rebound. This applies to road and race.
