Alright guys.. I have a 97 TLS.. just wanting to get some recommendations for suspension set up. I do alot of fast road riding so I like to set up just on the hard side of soft.. rear sag is set to about 20mm which is roughly roundabouts where I want it.. front I am struggling to get more than 10mm. I am assuming this is because of one of a few reasons.. the spring rate is too high for my weight (approx. 9.5 stone), rider centre of gravity is heavily shifted to the rear of the bike and the steering angle means the weight isn't being transferred effectively to the forks..
So my question I suppose is what spring rate fork springs should I be aiming for? 10mm rider sag I know is not enough but I seem to be utilising most of the fork travel when riding..
In terms of handling at the moment.. I have made some tweaks, change out the rotary damper etc.. and have her pretty close to where I feel comfortable.. the front end still feels a bit flighty and the bike becomes unsettled by undulations in the road surface at moderate lean angles..
any tips/pointers??
Thanks,
