Spot the mistake... Paid to have the bike setup at Snetterton, shouldn't the two adjusters on the forks be pointing in the same direction?



Cheers...

Not necessarily, they should be the same number of "clicks" out. If you're unsure you could count each click down and then count them back to where they were to ensure they are equal.

My R1 looks the same, but the number of clicks on each fork leg are obviously identical.

Depends how the fork tubes were put in - you can normally put them in anyhow and then just rotate the bottoms to line up with the wheel.
I suppose if you were so inclined you could set the adjusters all one way (in or out) and then rotate the tubes until they're in line but I don't know if anyone would bother.

BTW I know of people who want an 'in-between' setting and so will set one leg at, for example 8 clicks and the other at 9 to achieve an average of 8.5, I even know of one guy who has a slightly stronger spring in one tube than the other to get a midway spring setting.

Yep, just found out the screws are put in at random...

I tried the PB set up on my old ZX6R J1 and it was crap , far better on standard setting s it kicked all over the place on the PB settings , hence why so many BAB/sunday rider hero power rangers get pissed off with a T reg thunderace in these parts
