Had my BMW G310R for a couple of months now and absolutely love it but for one thing - the 'stock' front suspension set up! Not sure if being assembled in India means they're set up for riders who are 75kg wet through - which I am definitely not - but the front end on my bike feels way too light. I know the stock oil is 7.5W but no idea what the spring rate is. During 'normal' riding, everything is sweet but as soon as I give it some beans, I get quite a bit of uplift under hard acceleration and a bit of diving when hitting the anchors hard!
I'm not a suspension expert by any stretch of the imagination and although I would be willing to have a crack, I'd rather leave it to someone with a decent level of expertise - particularly given the impact getting it wrong could have on the bike's handling. On that note, a mate has suggested Phil Parish who, fortunately, resides in my neck of the woods here in Chch. Anyone used his services & are happy to recommend him or not as the case may be. Any other suspension gurus out there?
