I was wondering if anyone in here adjusted the stock suspension on there 954, i'm just tinkering with the suspension but I would like to know more and any positive feed back would be good...I ride mostly on the highways and sometimes when i'm haulin ass my bike gets violent when hitting bumps thru some long turns I figure with some suspension adjustments it would help? Also I been had a dampner since I had the bike but for some reason it gets a little wiggly thru long high speed turns...Just wondering if there is something I could do? :idea:

First install a damper. Just installed one a week and a half ago and it sure settled the bike down in turns with beat up asphault. Able to hold a cleaner line without having to make mid-turn corrections. Cant believe I waited that long (thanks Wheelie) :!: Saturday morning adjusted the rear spring to the 6th notch up from softest setting and 2 turns out from full stiff on comp and damp. I was getting a hopping or spongey feeling from the rear while driving hard through a corner. I weigh 165 - 170 (depends on what the wife is cooking). I'll play with the front this comming weekend.

heya Rippin, By-Tor's got a damned good suggestion as I still can't believe the 954 didn't come with a damper stock...
other than that you can check out This Thread (http://1000rr.com/ipw-web/bulletin/bb/viewtopic.php?t=604&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=) for a bunch of info on tuning your suspension in.......
Have fun!
