Hi All!

Reviving an older post - trying to find some general starting points and directions based on my weight (100kg’s+/220-230lbs). Coming from a Streetfighter and Panigale, I like riding on the xds somewhat sporty.

I didn't do anything to the shocks just yet, but it is pre-owned. Normally I looked up some basic settings based on weight from the owners manual, but cant find it for the XDS.

What would you advise as a general startingpoint based on weight and style?:
  • Front fork; rebound; fully CW (out?) + backing up 2 turns CCW?
  • Front fork; compression; fully cw (out?
  • Front fork; pre-load; fully CW (out?)

Rear shock; no tread visible (fully out?) with rebound fully out + 1 turns back?
