    Just fitted my recently aquired shock today but I've got no idea if the settins are stock or not. I would be grateful if one of the new owners of a 2012 blade could have a look in the handbook and post what the settings are.

    Thanks - Steve

    Thanks for the settings guys - sorry about the aution Barry .

    Just for anyone thinking about fitting one of these shocks I can tell you the Honda Racing rear hugger does not fit. I know someone on the forum said it just touched but mine was pushing down on the hugger while the shock was unloaded. When the shock compresses it moves downwards and would probably cracked the hugger. However, I'm thinking of getting the dremil on it to make it fit as the rear looks really bare now.

    Thanks again guys - Steve

    Thanks. Was looking for the same info. Many thanks again. Are they the same for abs and non abs bikes?

    I can't see why they should be any different. The shock is excellent by the way - I've tried changing the settings but found the stock setting was about right for my weight. The only thing it does make you want to do something with the front suspension.

    Just curious as they are slightly different for and without abs. Havnt booked it in yet , but FTR in bury will re valve spring and refresh the fronts for about £530. Hopefully in the spring time.
    Cheers.
