Hello,

I have a 2008 Hayabusa, and I noticed that your suspension suggestions for the Bus end with the 2005 model. What are the recommended settings for this bike.

I am a lard ass(250lbs), if that helps any.

suggested suspension settings will possibly get some where near where you want it but because every rider is different with different riding styles and riding in different conditions then they may not suit you. the best thing is to read up on what each setting does (sag, compression, rebound, damping) and go with the trial and error method (one change at a time). be carefull though and always make notes of what the previous settings were in case you make it handle like a bag of sh*t.
you can use recommended settings for sag and this should always be done first.
