How long for a suspension break in, roughly?

About 5 hours.

Describe “handling funny.”

Factory Connection has great customer support. You should talk to them.

If you got a new shock spring you'll need to redo your sag. Made that mistake earlier this year. Have you made any clicker changes? If your clickers are in the same spot they were before you had your suspension valved that could be causing it to handle differently. In my experience every time I rode with new suspension I had to go out on clicks until I put a few hours on it. Try 107mm of sag

None.

1 lap..if that..

I always considered an afternoon of break in similar to the engine/transmission. After that drop and replace fluids in all and go race. This is for a modern bike. Say 2000 +

In the old days we expected the fluids were very sub standard so they were switched out right away. Talking 1970s.

How many minutes do you think the factory teams have on theres from the semi to the track ?

Your suspension should feel good from the tuner after initial warm up is done, make sure static sag and sag is all looking good, you want the top of the stroke to move comfortably so mag sure you look at the static sag.

If your suspension doesn’t feel right (clickers) you need to spend some time moving stuff around but it shouldn’t be that far off, if it is it can be 1 of two things, I’m guessing it’s your shock, if it’s putting to much pressure on the front end because the shock isn’t moving it could be your hi speed, and I’ve found moving this is only for experienced riders however I have always relied on my hi speed to get a shock working good when I know it’s valving, I do this because I won’t ever go and max out my compression or rebound, those should always be within 4-5 clicks from center, if it’s not it’s either valving isn’t right or you can start moving the high speed nut, minor changes make big differences here in one way or the other and you can’t go more then half a turn total (unless u think it’s set wrong and need to be moved more after trying it) but it will really get your shock to settle down and plant itself with a quarter turn counter clockwise, if I ever feel like my bike is stinkbug and the front is diving I move it counter clockwise on the shock, if I feel like my bikes slow and low in the rear when I’m entering corners off power then I go clockwise a quarter turn. This is all when your off power entering corners, and in general where the rear end ends up when your not on throttle. It can help on landings if your feeling like the backend is clipping stuff Aggressively and not soaking especially off the throttle. And it can help some stuff on throttle, if the back end feels like it’s blowing threw between jumps going in a little bit will just hold it higher in the stroke, I will do this if I’m landing hard into stuff. Again the high speed is not something u want to move a lot unless the valving is off or the way it settles entering corners is way off. It’s an easy way to get a uncomfortable shock feeling good. If your forks are wrong you really can’t fix that. Unless it feels super low and soft put some extra oil in the forks so it holds itself up better. And do the opposite if it’s the opposite. Sometimes you just gotta set it up for you because you know what u like.

^^^ the above comment is one I’ve thought of. Do the factory teams break in suspension on a dyno?
