I'm 6'2" 235lbs using the stock set up. Been running it for over a year, but I highly doubt it is set up right, but I don't know how to set it up. On the bright side..... I am looking to get a complete Ohlins set up when I get off my deployment.
5'10, 160-165lbs
Used to ride street/track/race with stock suspension, now upgraded to Elka piston kit, ohlins springs, custom race mods and Elka rear shock
Joey did real well. Jake was there primarily to test so he was on spec tires and fuel, but still did a :31 flat. Starting at the back of the 2nd wave he still pulled off a 3rd and 7th (.3 sec between 7th and 4th) in the 6 lap races. He was happy.
Yeah, I saw his posts on facebook to that effect. I didnt realize he was on a spec tire with spec fuel though. And not bad starting from the second wave.... Should be a good year in DSB. Kinda stoked Ill actually get to watch the kid on TV.
It's not too hard, more just trial and error. Figure out your sag, how much the bike dampens from your weight., and then start adjusting from there on how you want the front and backend to feel.
6'1" 140 lbs normal clothes. Still looking for a suit :lmao
As far as riding position, it is comfortable to me. I sat on the gsxr, kawi, and honda all different years and the R6 was the most comfortable to me. The gsxr seat was too low, the honda seat was uncomfortable cause it's flat. I just don't see how you shorter guys touch the ground lol.
5'10" 215lbs.... got a gut... original owner of my bike told me its set up for 185lb rider, looks like i have a reason to follow through with this years resolution lol!

6'1" and 195lbs of pure muscle (believe that...) :flex: :sing :screwy
Running stock suspension and had it set by a Yamaha tech. He said I'm right at the threshold of being too big for stock suspension but I should be fine.
