People, get your suspensions setup!

[Derek Steptoe]

I know it sounds like common sense to have your suspension setup for you, but not everyone has it done. Even though I had it done on my last bike I didn't remember how much of a difference it makes. My new bike has been very frustrating because I have not been comfortable on it in the corners and I subsequently turned much slower lap times at MSRH than on my old bike. But I took my new R6 to Patrick's shop yesterday and Brandon setup my suspension and HOLY Sh!T what a difference. Now I absolutely love my bike's handling. It feels like the front and back are working with each other instead of independently; it doesn't run wide in turns anymore; it holds any line I put it on without "bouncing" thru the turn. Amazing. It' the best $25 I've spent on anything on any bike. If you're on the fence about getting this done, DO IT!

Thanks Patricks :icon_thum
P.S. Don't let Patrick give you directions from his shop to College Station, however. Takes ffffooorrrreeeevvveerrrr. :laughing6:laughing6

[Gigolo Jason]

I have the parts to get mine set up on order right now.

[Robert95z]

Do they adjust it with you sitting on the bike or what? When will they be open on a monday? honda has the same hours as them d'oh

[Derek Steptoe]

Yeah they adjust it by evaluating the settings with you on the bike in your normal riding position.

[Gryphin]

tues-fri 10-7 sat i know they are open just not when

[Moody]

Yep, If you are not having your suspension adjusted then you are probably wasting time on your bike.

[Houston Terrell]

Tuesday - Friday 10-7 saturday 9 -6 closed sunday monday. :hello:

[Mr. Unassailable]

appointments required? if not i may see yall tomorrow(tuesday).

[Yamadude]

Couldnt agree more, had mine done last Saturday.

[Moody]

appointments required? if not i may see yall tomorrow(tuesday).
I usually call before hand to see what their schedule looks like.

[Cherub]

whats the cost on that?

[Moody]

$25 I believe. That includes MU working with you to fine tune it.

[Tumper]

Had mine done a few weeks ago at MU, what a difference!

[Princess]

I'll probably be heading up there 12/8 to get it done.:icon_thum

[AKA]

are they supposed to adjust it with you on it? just wonderin' how many has had it done at MU with you on the bike?

[Patrick]

We do all of them with you on the bike.:icon_thum

Always have, always will.

[R.J.]

I may have to get this done. :nod:

It's the only way to adjust preload.

[01ducatiss]

im sure the duc can benifit from this greatly. you guys there realy go the extra mile, and havnt forgot what customer service means like many places i have taken my newly aquired passion we love to call a "motorcycle":thumb: I also need a front tire very very soon...:er:

[maxgs]

Wow, what an old post. Still, it's interesting to see how things haven't changed.

[GrayJ]

I wish I had time on Friday to get it up there. You guys open late on the 24th by any chance? :D I will be heading up there for the trackday at MSRH on the 25th.

Leaving here around 2(Maaaybe can get out of work earlier) get to Kemah by 5, try on and pick up boots, then head up there. But I am pretty sure I wouldn't make it by 6:30 though and then if I did I'm sure it would probably take a little bit to get it setup. Damn, maybe it just wasn't meant to be. But you guys do seem to be the place to go for it.

Since I'm in here do you guys have Kobe Misano's in stock? I need a 48-50 based on my guesstimations

[GrayJ]

Damn edit time ran out.. If I can get out of work early I will give you a call on Friday to see what kinda line you got up there.

But deffinitely interested in Kobe suit prices. And whatever other suits you can recommended for the larger build guys :keke:

[pdrich]

I made it up there this morning and called first to Patrick and asked if he could get me in for a setup on my 07 ZX-6R. He said bring it on, BEST MONEY I HAVE SPENT ON THE BIKE so far, I only have 4005 miles on it but driving home, 25 miles 110% improvement on the ride! And cheap money wise, I was 40-60 LBS under weight and Now big difference. Great people and first class service.

First Time There and Will Be Back......

Cheers,
PDRICH

you don't notice it on normal street riding (commuting) but on a spirited ride or trackday it's PRICELESS. best $25 ever spent. mine is dialed in perfect. Brandon kicks ass!

Definitely the best $25 you will ever spend.

[99 Chris]

Patrick, I need to come back and maybe do a touch up on my suspension. I'd like to do it with all my track gear on this time (instead of my daily street riding gear). It may not need much adjustment, if any.

[Badchev]

Definitely the best $25 you will ever spend.

Depends on what you consider "normal" :keke:

[Trini]

My first track day will be this saturday. Will it make sense for me to have my suspension set up on the 500? Will it make that much of a difference?

[kdog22]

i couldn't believe how much of a difference a good suspension setup makes on a bike till my last motocross bike... you can run harder for longer and it doesn't feel like you ever have to "fight" the bike.. huuuge difference.. spend the money on suspension before engine mods IMO.

So you think it will make that big of a difference on my bone stock 2007 Ninja EX500?

[CBRguyIZcool]

had mine done up at MU as well. definitely was a good thing to do :thumb:

FWIW, both the pictures in my avatar and signature are me on bone stock suspension that was set up at MU.

Surely you have spent $25 some time in your life on something you felt afterwards was absolutely stupid.

I can personally guarantee that you won't feel that way after MU sets up your 500.
