cheers

Try these settings they are from Performance bike mag. I found them a good starting point. I just backed off the pre-load on the front a bit because I found it a bit too hard

position 2 on the rear!?
isn't it too much soft?
I'm on the 3rd (riding alone) and 4th (with a passenger).
position 2 on the front may mean 2 straight appearing? i'm on 3rd too, it could be a little harder to be on the 2nd outside of highway when there are bump on the road....

what do you think about it?

I thought pos 2 would have been too soft, but it has ben fine for me on the road and track.
I'm about 12 stone before I put my leathers on

You need to scroll back through the Index (probably under Workshop). There is at least one excellent piece on suspension. If you can't find it let me know your e-mail address and I can send it to you.
