Suspension Part 5 - Set Up and Review Bitubo Race Suspension for Street Riding - BMW S1000RR

Suspension Part 5 of this 8 video series - What settings did we end up with on the Bitubo Race Suspension on this bike, the 2015/2016 BMW S1000RR, the million dollar question.
Well before you take a look, remember that these are my settings for my bike and they may not suit you. If you have a similar bike and the same Bitubo suspension components, then this might be a reasonable starting point. And one final thing, always seek advice from the experts like I did.
That said, these are the final street settings I settled on that covers geometry as well as damping and preload.

Always love suspension and setup topics, as it has a massive effect on your riding experience and ultimately your enjoyment - especially if you're a spirited rider !

Hey There
I recently came across your youtube channel and was impressed by the quality of your content. However, after conducting a comprehensive analysis, I noticed there is room for improvement for your youtube channel for getting more visitors and subscribers.
• Your Thumbnail needs to be more eye-catchy
• Your Video Title, Description needs to be improved
• You need to use more relevant tags and keywords
Do you want to improve your channel?

thanks mate, all good, I'm having fun doing what I'm doing

[@stephenlacey653]

What have you done about the ddc warning light?

[@TheBikeStig]

left it there, doesn't bother me, I plug in the system checker fairly regularly to check faults in any case
