Suspension By Remote Control

I bought the Catalyst Reaction suspension set up video from "On the Throttle Tv". Once I watched it especially the set up of the bikes I realized I was onto a good thing and that my bike was way out of adjustment for me and my weight. I tested the suspension as per the video and found my 07 R6 had very poor damping control in the forks. Not content with this I tested a brand new 07 R6, a Triumph 675 as a reference as per the video, 07 cbr1000 and a 05 ZX6R. Some were good some bad, both R6's were bad.

I thought I could fix this myself by going up in oil weight but alas crashed in the process :( I then bit the bullet and fitted Catalyst Racing Suspension. The bike was transformed:- much more stable and easy to ride with great feedback. My lap times dropped and tire wear was reduced considerably. Having suspension with a wide range of adjustment is just the icing on the cake.

The best part though was I could get good help from the other side of the World as I'm Perth Western Australia. Hence the heading "suspension by remote control". I would recommend using Catalyst Suspension even from a remote location as the work is First class and the results second to none.

Thanks Dave and Jim
