hi all,
i adjusted my rear shock yesterday (from standard) and what a difference!
Ive now got just 4 threads showing on the rear and i have turned the rebound to 3 turns out (from fully in). I'm 12.5 stone and its brilliant!
Also, on the front, i have the rebound 3 turns out (from fully in) and left the compression as standard on the front.
It's no longer hurting and it's made a huge difference guys.
I went out on a 60 mile trip yesterday as a test and honestly, its transformed. really.
 
Hi all,
I do realise that the suspension settings i've set don't make sense to some but genuinely, they work.
I actually had to buy a kidney belt as the jolts were really horrible (on british roads anyway) but it's really made that redundant.
It's only a c-spanner and 10 mins but please, try it.
As for the front, standard (except for the 3 turns on rebound) as i quite like late braking (EBC sintered pads. SOOOO much better than standard brembos) so it's fine for that.
Hey, if you don't get on with it, put it back to whatcha had!
Also, when the missus gets on the back, i will be stiffening it up as it's obviously more weight/leverage etc and it's going to be compensated.
