    Upgrading the suspension made a HUGE improvement in my bikes handling.
    Racetech fork springs with 15w oil and an R6 rear shock with PR2 rubber.
    1989 GSXF 750 Katana.
    V&H supersport exhaust, ported head, GSXR cams
    Michelin PR2's, RT fork springs and R6 shock

      IMO depending on the rider most Kats are capable of more than we think.

          Can you elaborate on the shock? Is it a straight bolt one? What is a PR2 rubber?

          Did you use a gold valve from Racetech or just spring / oil?

          Thanks,

If you are riding that hard it's only a matter of time till you come upon something that the Kat can't pull you out of, either due to its weight, lower performance suspension, lack of power or some combination of all of them. The damage you cause may not be just to yourself or your bike....

          Look up track days in your area, where you can ride that hard in a proper environment.
          I totally agree! Specially at my age! But track days are another story altogether. Dedicated bike, trailer, tires, time, budget, etc...

          I got a lot out of my system, I'm healed if not totally cured.
