just changed out my fork seals and fork oil and now that i have the forks working like they should be, im in need of help tuning the forks to MY weight. ive got the understandment of "sag" and all that terminalogy down and i think ive got it where it should be...35mm. but i took the bike out for a ride and when i hit a bump (no matter what setting the rebound is at) the bike is stiff feeling. ive been on gsxr forums all day trying to understand what to do but they're all assholes and cant help me..so i figured id give it a shot on here

Get the Traxxion Dynamics video on suspension tunning. It will help you get it sorted out quickly.

Depends on how the passenger is sitting.

Suspension tuning is not very expensive to have done for you - and it is very important. Get your base suspension tuning done, then tweak it to where you feel it needs to be. I suggest MSP Cycle or Marietta Motorsports.
