M&H Racing

I've used MH a few times. He does a very good suspension set-up sheet for £5.00 which I have had good results on 748 & a couple of Gixxers. Hasn't done one for the SD yet.

Rebuilt a blade rear shock for me several years back. No complaints and was competetively priced at the time. Havent used him since tho.

Thanks everyone

Going down there on Tuesday cause there's something not quite right with my set up and although I have read all the threads and tried lots of different settings, my inability to fully understand it all is preventing me from getting it right. £40 is worth spending if he sorts it for me

Just got back and it feels like a different bike, I used to run with standard settings but found it bouncy on high speed bends, changed it to sport settings but it became too harsh around town and neither gave me a confident turn in at the front end

Mark Hammond bounced the bike up and down, took measurements with me holding the bike upright and sitting astride it and then did his adjusting, took if for a spin and it is now how it should be

I know this thread is of no use to the more technical people amongst you who fully understand the implications of adjusting compression, preload and rebound and have the patience to tweak a little and then try repeatedly but for a Southern, Titanium owning, numpty, it has been £40 well spent.

For the record, this is what he has set my bike to :

Fork Preload - Backed off 2 turns
Comp - 8 clicks
Rebound - 6 clicks

Shock HS comp - 2.5 turns
LS comp - 12 clicks
Rebound - 21 clicks

I was shocked that the fork rebound was so different from the KTM recommended figures, now the bike turns in so well due to having greatly reduced it

11 stone, although he did say that being heavier would not of made a dramatic difference to his settings.

Are those settings from fully screwed in?

I might give them a go as I have always been impressed with Mark's set-up's.

What is your weight in kg ?
Did he change Shock damper preload ?
