Thumbs up Thanks Marty Moose

Big to Marty Moose for setting aside his time to help me sort out my suspenion. Didn't realise the difference it would make to the bike to have the suspension adjusted properly. The ride home was sooo much more enjoyable.
Strongly recommend Marty to anyone. Very knowledgable man and he is more than happy to spend the time explaining everything to you.

Don't you start with the 'copy cat' shit Barty Boi !!!

Marty's been doing this for a while. We're just late bloomers / slow learners.

Yes. Go see him.

Shameless bump.

A big thanks to Marty Moose for adjusting my suspension (on my 04 GSXR750) last night (and with short notice too!).

My bike used to wobble and sway and do all sorts of crazy things due to the poor suspension setup - to be honest, I have never bothered with the front or rear suspension since I got the bike in Dec 2006. Under braking the bike was unstable and any bumps in the road + braking would really upset it and not to mention scare the sh!t out of me on certain occasions. After asking a few people on PSB who I should talk to regarding my suspension they all recommended Marty.

I thought that I might have to end up spending a lot of money fixing the suspension because the handling of the bike was extremely poor (bouncing in corners, not much feel of the front tyre etc). Not to mention the possible internal effects to the suspension from the "bike into curb" incident that I had.

I suppose part of the reason I never bothered with the suspension was that I thought I am not using the bike to its full potential so there is no need to play with the "stock" (or whatever) settings. I thought that I wouldn't actually benefit from it.

Edit: I forgot to say that Marty explained everything he was doing and adjusting and was enthusiastic about it all the way through. His enthusiasm gave me some hope for my bike . What a top bloke.

I can not stress this point enough - the difference that it has made to the feel of my bike is unbelievable. I took the bike for a spin around the block and straight away I noticed how much better the bike handles bumps in the road both under brakes and just normal riding. The front end actually feels stable, essentially nailed to the ground compared to what it was before.


On the way to work I take the Great Eastern Highway/Canning Highway onramp from Causeway (big left hander):
Yesterday - I was bouncing around on the left hand wheel-track and going toward the even bumpier center.
Today - I owned that corner, same line all the way through. It's awesome to have more confidence in yourself and your machine !

Also Marty wrote everything down on a piece of paper and all the changes he made which he gave to me for future reference. He also showed me a new method of lifting the front and rear tire of the bike off the ground which was excellent .

Time for me to stop rambling and get back to work.

If your bike needs suspension work done or if you just aren't happy with the handling (as I was) then I highly recommend Marty! I'll definitely keep in touch with him

Really really happy
