hal26 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Someone posted a very different fork setup and in desperation I tried it. I like it! Preload set to MAX and rebound OFF. At 215 pounds dressed it beats every other setting that I have tried. Still playing with the rear shock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlxr Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Those are typical adjustments when spring rate is too low. If you're forks are still bottoming or using too much travel, you can add a bit of oil to each fork. I am not sure how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kemmotar Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 by the way this is not an optimal solution. the cc in oil should be inside the parameter values. also the density of oil is a parameter. from my experience these are half solutions. the best is to pick up the correct spring rates for your weight and riding style. the spring haa to do the job without preloading it a lot. last but not least, keep in mind that oem springs are not LINEAR and we have to start from there. the bike is not a tourer its a tall (hypermotard like) sport bike with some touring capabilities.
