Dampener Settings

I just wanted to see what dampener everyone is using and how they run them. I am going to make my first run next week and wanted to know what I should set mine at. I have an Ohlins.
 
I run the stock dampers on both my '06 and '08 and they do great. The '08 seems to be the least stable (for LSR) of the two bikes. I think this is probably because it is actually a bike that handles :)

On the '06, I replaced the oil in the stock damper with 90wt gear oil and it made a world of difference. The bike is rock solid and totally composed even when spinning the tire at 190+.

Just watch out for the first few turns on cold mornings - the thing won't run until it's warmed up.
