Need some help.  Got a stock WB 2015 zx14r. Full titanium CT with brocks map and lowering links are my major mods. I dropped ride height 1/2”. Front and rear equally.   Due to the large weight loss and the lowering i just cant find a suspension setting that works anymore.  Im about 215lbs and dropping weight currently. 

Can someone give me (hopefully from experience) some good settings to try?  I live in Lebanon OH close to dayton OH so the roads are fairly rough. I only street ride no track or drag but i jist want a nice firm confidence inspiring ride. 

If you can suggest compression and rebound and preload settings i would be very grateful.

For anyone who may read this my next test is to go back to stock settings according to the service manual. I figure the bike lost weight but at 220 suited I'm a heavier guy so it offsets.  Not sure how the lowering effects it.  Front forks with 5 lines or .55” showing on preload. 10 out on compression, 8 out on rebound.  For the rear still set to the proper sag for my weight on preload, and 2 out for rebound and 2 2/3 out for compression.  Will test next time the rain allows.

Hello - Darkarcher,

You will need to start by adjusting you rider sag - the info. here will work the same for street as it will drag for a starting point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqIiIB_oP1I

Once this is finished, try stiffening up your rebound and compression a few clicks each above the stock settings. Keep doing this until you are happier with your ride.

Please e-mail me directly bmail@brocksperformance.com for any questions,

Brock
