my old FZR only had preload on the rear shock which basically spoke for itself.today I picked up my VTR which has got preload and rebound on the front and the back.
can anyone explain what the rebound does

while fiddling around with the bike this afternoon I found that the front forks were not equally adjusted so I set them back to the standard setting for preload and rebound according to the manual and then done the same to the rear.
what sort of settings do you use on your bike

any recomendations

I don't really want to mess around with the settings too much untill I understand beter how it affects the handling of the bike

please excuse my stupidity!
