suspension settings for the drag strip
i got 00' cbr 600 f4 and i want some tip on setting up my suspension for the drag strip. im thinking if you make the front fairly stiff and the really soft it would sag in the rear for better traction. but some give me some tips on suspension setups.

But lower it. Lower it, lower it lower it.................then strap the front.

I don't know how much just adjusting the suspension alone will help, but from what I remember softening the rear will help you get traction in the rear, but that shouldn't really be an issue with your bike
it would be good for just having fun or bracket racing though, it would be alot easier to launch consistently and get a good dial in

yup, when I said lower it I didn't mean to just adjust the suspension...........I mean lower it: literally! Get it as low as it can go. Dogbones and everything.

150hp doesn't require an extended arm.....unless you're makin 200+rwhp stock length should suffice if you have any skill at all.
