Hi there all :)

Post by dazzx10r »

I've been lurking on here for a few weeks so thought I'd better say Hi, I have a 2010 R1 14b fitted with full Bazzaz traction, fueling and quickshifter. I love the engine but loath the suspension, give me back my WP equipped Zx10 any day. :)

Hi, welcome to the forum.
I had the same issues, loved the engine but struggled with the suspension.
But don't worry, it's an easy fix, I just threw Ohlins everything at it with a linear rear suspension link and adjustable dogbone.

But a sensible person would get someone that knows what they're doing and replace, mod and set up as necessary. Really depends on your requirements of the bike and pockets.
The bare minimum I would suggest is linear fork springs, jack up the back and a set up by someone who knows what they're doing.

Pete.
