Street Triple Suspension, heavy rider

Street Triple Suspension, heavy rider

Lads,

I’m looking at buying a used ’11 Street Triple (non-R version).

I’ve read that the street triple suspension is non-adjustable and very basic to cut costs for price point against the japs. I’ve also seen that its really set up for lighter riders (160lbs).

Now I’m a heavy fella at 110kg (240lbs), I haven’t test-rode the bike yet but i’m trying to find out if I’m going to need an aftermarket upgrade and what the cheapest way of doing this would be. Any suspension pro’s with suggestions?

Hoping I can find a cheap way of fixing the issue as its a bike I’ve always wanted to have.

Cheers, :bikerie:
