Been chatting to a few people about setting up the R and it seems that distributing the weight to the rear a little is a preference for several riders.

I noticed Scott Redding is running his practice bike with the front picked up as far as it will go in standard trim (see images).

Ryan Vickers had his practice bike yokes set as standard from what I could see looking at his socials from Jerez

Do you not need to know what might have been done to the rear to draw any conclusions? Maybe swingarm position?

Just pointing out that Scott’s set up could suggest he’s pushing some weight to the rear, as others (including myself) have confirmed makes the bike ‘feel’ better. IMO

I asked Scott on instagram how he found the electronics on the practice bike and he replied saying he has it all off or as low as it will go as he found it to intrusive. Maybe I should ask him about his suspension set up and see if he replies

Redding is about 5” and 50 lbs (13 cm and 22 kg) heavier than me and not to mention leagues faster and more proficient rider than me so not surprising his bike’s geometry will be different. He’s able to leverage with his taller height and heavier weight. He’s probably aiming for more stability and higher Cg

To properly get the best from the big bikes you need to arrive and drive. That’s what they are setting them up these days.
