Hi need some help and advise
Took the kr out to the three sisters track in Wigan ,tenner for 10 mins on track ,good fun and gives me the chance to see what my bike really handles like.
Well on the way up there I had the front tyre letting go and sliding ,so when I got to the track I spent most of the time messing about with the forks trying to get some sort of feel for it ,but I came away feeling like I'm not getting enough weight on the front tyre.
SO THIS IS WHERE i NEED THE HELP ! I am running a zxr400 front end so its all up in the air as to the settings , what I need is (1) can anyone tell me the full length of a standard kr1 fork (from the centre of the axle to the top ) and (2) alot of you run your forks slid up/dropped in the yoke ,can you tell me how much ,from the top yoke up .
I've set my static sag and I'm just about to fit a bridgestone 090 120/60x17 which I think(hope) will feel better than the michelin thats fitted at the moment.
give me some thing to work with
thanks for looking any advice welcome
