I noticed that amazingly, there is not a SINGLE FZ1 listed in the Suspension area of tech.

Anyone have some recommended settings for a 200# rider.

BTW, yes, i'm going to buy new springs and most likely revalve the shock.

But "until then" I wonder if there is anything I can do?

Thanks,
Roger

I would never recommend the "suggested" suspension settings in any publication any way.  You need the bike set up for you.  When you re-valve and get the correct springs for your weight.  The shop should do the setup before you ride away, if not find a new shop.  If you want to do the setup before you get everything, the article at this URL will give you a guide to set up your bike so it works for you.
