@motocycologist Try setting it at max and then work back in 1.5 turn increments.. See what feels best for you. You can also try heavier oil than stock, and that will help as well. Dave Moss Host
You can add up to 10mm more preload and heavier oil to help out. Putting the fork cap back on might be a little trickier with that extra preload as he threads are very fine!
The stock rear shock on these bikes is as cheap as it gets,no amount of adjusting will make it do any thing but beat you to death. The forks are so softly sprung as to be ridiculous. The damping is horrific ft and rr. Its real expensive to get this junk replaced and even close to working.

Wait...135mm pre and 115mm w/rider = 30mm rider sag?
Showing HOW to actualy adjust would have been great.
hi dave, since the front is too soft for over 140lbs, can you add more perload instead of changing the spring and oil?
Do you recommend progressive springs for front? which once?

Now this is where American and English gets all mixed up. If that were the case, I'd be in jail for assault :)
