Be aware that with an incorrect (static) geometry, even running WSBK spec forks won't alleviate the problem! Were you running with the forks dropped through the yokes, as this may have exacerbated the problem. Small changes, one at a time, and you'll see which direction each change is taking you in, to allow you to get to a good setup within a few sessions. Good luck!!
PS what did you have done internally? Who's doing the work?
Thats some good points there. I had the forks set standard position on yokes so had a few lines before they would've been flushPS what did you have done internally? Who's doing the work?
Running a heavier spring im told for my size 8 13st 11lb weight and 7.5w oil. Clickers have been set what he thinks is a good base which is pre load quite much more out to give some more travel (It was right in and had none) and comp 1 turn off max hard (Only has about 2 1/2 turns on it out to in)
He said to call once at track and will also when we can both arrange a time meet at track to finish off rear setup, sag etc
It was Stef from Tyres4bikes he does suspension and tyres based Lincolnshire if I remember...I'll find out next week if its good or not

I've been to Croft twice this year, it was to hot and sunny for me on both days, Silverstone was way too hot to.
Just saying...
Can't wait Tony , Sat and Sun 20/21st roll on !Just saying...
John are you at Croft next Weds 17th with Neil McK at all ? May have a run up ( road bike - weather permitting)am off work next week , see if Si fancies a day out too ...
I was at Slverstone today, and the forecast was for a heatwave, so I didn't bother packing the wets.
Got there to rain, and it didn't dry out until lunchtime
Had some good sessions in the afternoon though, and the silverstone run trackway ran really well. 25minute sessions were quite hard and my new bike is trying to pull my arms off everytime I ride it, so was starting to flag by about 20mins into each session
