best fork setting for stoppies on 03 636

[zucca636]

What are the best settings for the upper and lower fork screws to do the best stoppies...just wondering what some people out there have them set at

[WiseGuy]

get the 05-09 front fork set up...

there is none

it's trial and error.. i like mine with stiff rebound.

yea I prefer stiffer rebound too, just seems to feel a lot more responsive.

i just put 15wt fork oil in..throw in an extra 10cc's...super stable and less break use to snap it up

I thought i had my rebound on hard too but seems i was tuning the compression instead lol. I have rebound on soft(the top screw) and compression on hard(bottom screw) and preload on hard. What are everyone else running?

That's pretty much where I start too. Making the air gap smaller, by adding the extra fluid, is like having stiffer springs with out having to re valve.

As far as the other settings, I like the rebound as slow as possible. I like my compression just fast enough to not dive so fast that it shocks the tire. I set my preload just stiff enough so it doesn't speed up the rebound.

I was wondering the same thing yesterday. I bought some 08 zx6r forks over the winter from a dealer who claimed to have just changed out oil/seals, but they were bottoming out super easy on my first time out yesterday.

I tightened that nut on the top of the fork tubes all the way down and then backed it out one turn, I also did the same with the smaller nipple inside that nut that you tighten with a flat head screw driver.

I did the same for the bottom of the fork tubes too and they still bottom out super easy, just braking hard not even getting the back wheel off the ground.

A friend was telling me I need thicker oil?

15w Really? I use 10w with stock level and my shit is alway stiff. I could not imagin 15w and 10cc more. Might as well have a solid suspention lol
