You'll probably need to got to full preload on the rear & have about 3 rings showing on the front to start with & then start playing with the compression & rebound after that.

Also check here. It might help a bit.

ok- got them counted today mine are as follows:
front-
preload-blue part
6th line barely showing
Rebound-inside blue part
4 clicks out
Compression-bottom of fork
5 clicks out
rear
preload-coilover
3rd groove down
rebound-bottom of shock
13 clicks down(counterclockwise)
compression-between res. and shockbody
4 clicks out

I ride mostly in town(lots of RR tracks) so i keep it a little soft, i don't think its too out to lunch though. hopefully this helps.

The Blue part is your rebound, inside the blue part is your preload. I think you got it mixed up.

My bad, that's why I put the description for everything. "I've got one of those relaxed brains" :stupic

Actually, I looked in my manual and was right to begin with, the blue part is the preload. Page 3-17 and 3-18, thats on a 99.
