Suspension setting?

[KanjiBusa]

This might be a far fetch, but has anyone done the stock suspension adjustment? If you are 220 or very close to that, could you post up what you dialed yours in to? I do not have the stands to get the front end up to do it myself. Thanks a lot!

You are right on the borderline to needing new springs for the forks, IMO.

Take at look at That will point you in the right direction.

Wait, theres the rings that I use a 15mm socket on, then the center screw that can harden or soften.

What do you mean when you say
compression 5 clicks out
preload 3 clicks out?

Thanks
