Well the bike is going next week, but I always wanted to see what they did when they set up the suspension last year, so here goes a few measurements. 08 Blade, I'm about 90kg in gear (weigh just under 14st without gear) Frt Preload 8 3/4 from full soft, (2 3/4 turns harder) Frt rebound 2 3/4 back from full hard (1/2 turn softer) Frt Compression 1 1/2 back from full hard (1/2 turn harder) Rear Preload set at 6 ( 2 harder) Rear rebound damping 3 1/3 back from full hard (1 1/3 softer) Rear Compression damping 2 1/2 back from full hard (1/2 softer) Made a huge difference for me, but I did have the fork oil changed aswell after 24,000 miles so anything would feel better I guess. Hope this may help someone, mine felt like it was on carpet after this, but may be the oil. Standard settings are in the owners manual
