Ive put ~5 days in on an 07 GSXR 750 I picked up this spring.
Rider: 175 lbs no gear
Front: stock, 1kg/mm springs, but revalved by Superplush supsension for more damping
Rear: Ohlins SU647, 105 spring
Geometry: no fork caps. Front flush with top triple, rear set to 323mm eye to eye. Whole bike has been raised about 5mm this way which was based on JPH and other suspension guru guidance for a setup without caps.
Summary: I rode an 05 R6 ratbike last year and was turning 2:06-2:07's at BW, this year I'm struggling to break 2:10 on this GSXR. I feel the bike struggles to turn in well when I have a lot of brake pressure on turn in or am trail braking too hard. When off the brakes, the bike feels like it carves well and will hold a line just fine.
Jason reduced the preload which helped a bit, it's currently backed out nearly all the way. I'm using almost/all the travel on the front.
Advice? I feel exhausted after a session from wrestling this thing.
