k_{x} = \frac{rx+ay}{r^2 + a^2}..

k_{y} = \frac{ry-ax}{r^2 + a^2}..

k_{z} = \frac{z}{r}..

k_{0} = 1.

And (with "r" being my weight with gear,

1 = \frac{x^2+y^2}{r^2 + a^2} + \frac{z^2}{r^2}

Taking into account,

A_{\mu} = \frac{Qr^3}{r^4 + a^2z^2}k_{\mu}

\vec{E} + i\vec{B} = -\vec{\nabla}\Omega\,

\Omega = \frac{Q}{\sqrt{(\vec{R}-i\vec{a})^2}} \,

with my weight of 275 lbs means that I need to add one line of pre-load on my front forks and subtract two threads on my shock.

Thanks,Guys!!!

Fuck....that gave me a headache...

I was told on svrider by a few peeps that at my weight and my riding style, the stock set up on my bike is good. I still have a gix shock I was going to put on it, but fuck it....I'm not messing with it.

I agree, the GSXR shock is great for heavier riders and trackheads but for you I'd say if it aint broke don't fix it.

I've ridden an SV with the Gix shock and noticed a small difference but didn't ride it enough to say if it was better or at least have enough improvement for me to do the swap. Besides, it's a PITA to do...and since I didn't notice an immediate remarkable difference, I decided not to do it.

However....I've messed around with the preload on the rear shock a bit but put her back to where she was stock.

I also messed around a bit with the preload on the forks as well as put in a heavier weight fork oil. Doing that seemed to help with the way she handles on the rough roads we have here.

I'm satisfied with the way I have her set up now.

I almost ate it on my BTO16s. I wasn't even doing anything crazy, just pulling the bike away from the durb and turning around and right back in the garage. It doesn't help my street is dusty as fuck right now either.

Are they "broke in" at all? Mine are ok but they definitely aren't "out of the garage" ready like my Pirellis were... You got to warm these bitches up some...

Hell no. They had about 20 feet on them at that point.

Yea...I told you the story about an idiot who bought his bike in Nov and decided to take it out the day after Thanksgiving on cold Bridgestone tires when he was used to Pirellis....

"Hello State Farm...remember that bike I insured 4 days ago? Well....."
