2005 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R Suspension Results

Okay, as I promised. I have the results of both my suspension setup for the ZX-10R and for the FZ1. I took them both out after making minor adjustments and was able to determine what preload and compression worked for my full rider weight. The corners and overall movement of the bike was spot on. Leaned over like a hot knife in butter.
