[QUOTE="HaulinAshe, post: 424993, member: 1875"] I seriously thought about leaving this one alone. I know I SHOULD, but... First, if you are 6-4 and 360 lbs., you could pound my a$$ into the pavement. But you need to hear the gospel according to, well... me!!! The FJR like most Jap bikes, was designed around a typical male, which the Jap engineers believe is 5'10" tall and weighs 165 lbs. Compression/Rebound clickers set at 10/10 is very close to stock setups. At 360 lbs. you would have to be 4'0" tall to be anywhere close to working with that range. If suspension settings are causing you to overshoot corners badly enough to be dodging mailboxes, please do us all (and especially yourself) a favor and slow down. Slow down long enough to take your bike to a suspension specialist and get it set up for your size. I KNOW that three lines of front preload and 12/15 compression/rebound on stock springs and valves [B]AIN'T IT[/B]!!! [/QUOTE]
