*First of all, I have to apologize for the document being in Spanish, but that's how I have it.

I will tell you about my suspension settings, for a weight of 93Kilos and very fast driving in mountain curves.
In Spain, weekend driving is basically going out into the mountains and very fast.
With the factory settings, the motorcycle, for this type of riding, was very soft, and you couldn't go fast.
I have created a word document, with the settings and I have been testing, I am already going through configuration 3 and I think I am close to the end.
I hope it helps, for the fast ones...



I upload PDF, since it won't let me upload Word.

That is nice of you to share, but you will want to let people know what year MT09 SP you have.

I don't think attaching files is a great idea. I'm not going to open it. Just tell us what the settings are.

Right. The first thing to do is measure suspension sag with you on the bike in riding gear. I actually weighted the bike with the equivalent weight of my gear so that I didn't have to work in it.
You should have 40 to 45mm front sag from fully extended. The rear should be around 35mm sag. If your roads are prefect and you ride like on a track, you could take 5mm off that.
Once you have sag set, you then set damping. Check out Dave Moss on Youtube for a demonstration of the bounce test for damping settings.
PS. Using other peoples settings is not the way to go.

I already looked at the SAG, and it was basically fine.
Today, Monday, I went out into the mountains to mountain curves at a very fast pace, and then the highway at 160kph, and the bike is perfect.
At more than 160kph, on the highway, it is a bit unstable, but this is a very occasional situation or never, and in the mountains it is perfect.

... Now I have Bridgestone s22, and I don't like them at all, I hope to put Pirelli diablo IV soon, which I had on my old KTM 890 Duke and which I liked much more, to my type of riding,
