Call me an ass but something's fishy about this. First you point out that the bike handles like shit, and sets down from a wheelie hard. Then people suggest you adjust your suspension, and your reply is asking how to do that. Then people explain. Then you reply that you have ridden bikes all your life and raced quads at pro level local and that your race mechanic will help you dial it in.
How do you not have the inclination on your own to know this?

lol at this point I'm wondering if you just need to put air in the tires?

that's what i was thinking too but then it woudln't really be hard when comming from down from wheelies unless he was really bad at them, but he said he was only 130 and the suspension is set at 180 pound rider stock so maybe a little of both

well ive never had a streetbike b4 so i wasnt sure on the suspension..i dont have a manual for it yet..but last night i checked my pressure and it was wayy low..so i put it back up to 40psi and took it around the block twice and pretty much it couldnt of changed more for the better, i kinda felt dumb for that one haha..but im still gna soften the susp a little just to make it more plush..but im back in love w/this bike so forget the gsxr.

hey Tommy since this is your first street bike go ahead and get used to checking the tires every time you go out....at the BARE minimum you should check them every time you get gas.. even 5 lbs of pressure makes such a huge difference in handling... if you can invest in a portable air compressor it's a great investment
