F2 suspension Vs R6 suspension

[Lowe119]

Yesterday I did a PTT trackday at BFR and my R6 blew up after 2 laps. So my buddy let me ride his F2 with stock suspension. This is the first time I rode ANY other bike in an aggressive environment and it was a GREAT learning experience.

My question is - the front seemed to want to "dive" into the corners. How can we help prevent this? (or is this just something we have to deal with on an older bike?)

Now, I attended Ed Key's suspension clinic, but he blew by the particulars on each occurence and what to do. I could never write that fast and couldn't remember it all.

So would we raise the forks, drop the clip ons, slow the rebound compression, or do we start from scratch, adjust the sag (geometry) and put some valves and fresh oil in and see if that helps?

BTW - that F2 was a blast. I was taking it a little easy, because I didn't want to wreck my buddy's street ride, but I was a minimal amount off my R6 time. So that definitely showed me where I can ride the R6 faster and brake later.  ;D

In 1993, competitive lap times on Supersport prepared (and this is not the current corrupted version of CCS supersport) CBR600F2's was high 14's to 16's.  Old track, old tires, and a little over 90RWHP with no ram air.

Everything is the same.  You start with geometry, then the correct spring, and then dampening.
