www.SportbikeWr... 08 Honda CBR1000RR Suspension Evaluation w/ Dave Moss of Catalyst Reaction Suspension. If you bought this motorcycle, would the stock springs be right for you?
preload is the top of the forks, rebound is the flat head screw inside the fork preload adjuster and compression is the flat head screw at the base of the forks. The shock preload is the collar at the top, compression is above that and rebound is the screw at the base of the shock
Absolutely - gives it that nudge forward to change weight bias and help the chassis considerably. Make sure you alter preload and damping based on soft or hard carcass tire.
By the way im using this guide front preload - 4 turns in from full soft front rebound - 1 turn out from full stiff front comp - 2 turns out from full stiff rear preload - stock position rear rebound - 1.5 turns out from full stiff rear comp - 2 turns out from full stiff
Take all the preload out of the forks, set rebound at 1.5 turns out and compression at 2 turns out. For the shock, drop it 2 notches softer than stock (yellow dot) then set compression and rebound the same as the forks.

Hi! SportbikeWrench i have a cbr1000rr 2008 and i know its kinda old but im having trouble with the suspenssion adjustmen. Im 5,6 wheying 164lbs. Can you give me the exact configuration for my suspenssion setting? Im looking forward for your help.
Dave, do you recommend a 55 in the rear for these bikes, for street riding? also i have heard nothing but positive reviews for going with the 55's, is their anything negative about them?

For the shock you can use the stock spring for average riding. If you are going to the track or being aggressive, changing the spring makes sense.
By the way im using this guide
front preload - 4 turns in from full soft
front rebound - 1 turn out from full stiff
front comp - 2 turns out from full stiff
rear preload - stock position
rear rebound - 1.5 turns out from full stiff
rear comp - 2 turns out from full stiff
correction - the preload collar is at the base of the shock
Take all the preload out of the forks, set rebound at 1.5 turns out and compression at 2 turns out. For the shock, drop it 2 notches softer than stock (yellow dot) then set compression and rebound the same as the forks.

I need help identifying the preload, rebound, and compression on front and rear for an 08 1000re
Would I have to change the spring for about 190-205?
E bonita essa moto cbr1000rr ano 2008
