Does anyone have the link to the aforementioned Performance Bikes suspension setups for the 2001(ish) 6R?
Used this as a base setting for my first one and got on pretty will with it but the only think I can remember is jacking the back up by 8mm. Have played about with the settings but would be interesting to see what they had.
Sure I have it on an old hard drive.
Will have a look tonight.
have you had a look through the old mcnninja archive?
had a quick look and are a few topics referring to J1/2 settings

Aha, brilliant, ta!! I had just been trying to sift through google results - archives here I come!!
Found the discussions about this exact thing, but was either broken links or, maybe, a file that had been uploaded to the site but no longer available.
A bit more refining of the search and found the info on the zx6r forum (https://www.zx6r.com/threads/newbee-set-up-help.547/), which was as follows:
Quote from: zx6r forumThere was a ZX6-R suspenion guide done in the March 2001 Performance Bikes, for a J1 model.
This should be good for all J and A1 models as they all had much the same suspension.
Stock Rear:
Preload - spring length 180mm
Rebound - ten clicks out from full in
Compression - ten clicks out from full in
Ride height - zero
Stock Front:
Preload - 14mm showing
Rebound - 7 clicks out from full in
Compression - 9 clicks out from full in
PB Settings:
Rear:
Preload - one full turn back if weighing less than 14 stone (in full gear)
Rebound - 7 clicks out from full in
Compression: 8 clicks out from full in
Ride height - +8mm (+4mm is recommended for road riding and still improves things)
Front:
Preload - 4 lines showing
Rebound - 4 clicks out from full in
Compression - 6 clicks out from full in
Rear ride height made a big difference.
Easy adjustment on the J model but I thing the A model required a spacer.
Apologies for the delay, found them on an old hard drive.
Brilliant thanks :cheesy:
Funny it is still up on my old website.
That is my old service provider from 15 years ago and they have still not taken it down.
There is a wiring diagram there too
