I find it amusing in observing a talented rider that can go fast on a stock bike, with little but a nod to preload.

Obviously when your racing every little nuance counts and is something you want working for you, but I see skilled riders push OEM goods to the limits and realize that no matter what performance envelope you have built into your machine, if you cant access it skill wise, why install it to begin with?

Case in point being the expert coaches at the Pridmore Star School riding stock GSXR600 and SV 650s while teaching some students on prepped suspensions.

One caveat tho, It is easier for a student rider to learn how a bike performs and is suppose to give feedback on a well set up machine. As through the proper feedback and inputs he deals with it is easier for him to learn about how fast really is supposed to feel
