Sorry man.
I don't recognize that setup.

I was wondering the same thing though, about my 06 750.
I've noticed that the Pre-load adjusters (in Blue) are screwed all the way in.
So essentially its as stiff as it can be with oem springs. However, I'm curious as to how Suzuki expects the owners of these bikes to add a bit of tension to the front in a couple of years?

Previous years had five to six reference lines still showing on the pre-load adjusters, which allowed for a bit of stiffing after a couple of seasons.

Anyone?
:hmmm:

Would going with heavier shock oil will increase tension?

 

Find out what settings you have now for a reference point. (comp, rebound, pre-load) then adjust both of forks equally.:thumbup:

 

At least your accessories match even if you don't know how it all works :thumbup: . watch the video suspension for mortals or something like that. It will give you basic knowledge of how motorcycle suspension works. You are definately a newbie at this so I wouldn't mess with it unless you have someone who REALLY knows what they are doing to talk you through the adjustments and why.

I was always under the impression that the Pre-Loads major function was to set the sag of the suspension, more than the stiffness (I do realise that it does somewhat make it stiffer or softer due to compressing the spring though)... and Stiffness is set more with spring rates... eg... stiffer springs or softer springs...

 

pre-load and stiffness of the suspension go hand and hand.

the spring is a 'progressive rate' spring. i.e. it exerts more psi the more it is compressed. a 200 lb rider is going to have more pre-load in their suspension than a 150 lb rider. the 200 lb riders suspension is going to be stiffer than the 150 lb rider.
the compression dampening dampens/slows down the rate/speed that the spring can be compressed. the rebound dampening dampens/slows the rate/speed that the spring can 'spring'/bounce back after being compressed.

 

Ah Ha!
Just downloaded the '06 Manual.

"Turn pre-load adjuster counter-clock wise, all the way to it's softest setting.
Then turn it seven full turns to the "Standard position."
Suspension sag,. it adjusted from the "Standard" position.

Yay!:bounce

Here's a link to the manual in PDF.

You can probably tell which part of the country I'm from.

:lol:


I figured you guys would chime in & that would save me some time!

:twofinger

 

most/all of the info in that Sport Rider article is the SAME info that's in the Traxxion Dynamics DVD (Suspension for Mortals). My bike is set to their reccomendations, so we'll see how it does soon enough.
