The red spring is the only bloody standard part of the sussy set up.
Grrrrr
UPDATE.. just been out for a quick 100miles to scrub a pair of new Bridgestones in, and by the end of it the front end was lifting coming out of them circular things with roads leading of em ..

Clean bike, though,

Your spot on Al the s does have the rotary. mine has had It replaced with a Ohlins damper and the spring is independent and that is still the stock one on mine. It's supposed to have some handling issues due to this set up, but the changes are to sort this out. I've ordered some trick bits which includes a steering damper and fitting kit nearly as expensive as the damper itself !! A Harris top fairing brace to get rid of all the scaffolding at the font and a set of stubby levers to make me feel like !! I is a racer !! Lol
