yeah...is there like a simple plug and chug formula for suspension setup? I'm kinda tiny...about 135 pounds...how do i go about adjusting the bike for my tiny @ss?

Dude, my leg weighs that much.... I think the bike is oversprung for your weight. I think you would need a totally different spring setup, front and rear.

What bugs me about the S3 sus is the "nebulous" turns thing. Why not make the thing with solid clicks? When I get home from sunny Cozumel, I'm ordering an Ohlins rear for my bike... The front sorts fairly well, but I'm not sure about the progressive springs totally, overall it's ok. The rear on the other hand seems totally useless. One setting it wallows all over the place with no feel. One little adjustment, stiff as a board on bigger hits. In CO I need something a bit more compliant as MOST of the roads I drive would be considered B roads or even C roads in the UK... Can make for some "interesting" cornering. Haveing a low and high speed damping adj. would be BEAUTIFUL... :-D
