I bought my bike used and did not like the way it rode at all, so i used the settings from sportbikerider to set the bike up and those have worked fine, but recently my girlfriend has moved in with me so she is a passenger a lot now and the settings are way too rough with her on the back

so i was wondering if anyone could give me the stock suspension settings so i could start from scratch, thanks for your help in advance

ps. i searched and couldnt find anything, sorry if this has already been answered .

I have a 2005, so the settings might be different.

I believe that the stock setting for the forks is:

- Preload: 6 lines showing
- Rebound: 1 less click out from full stiff than Sportrider
- Compression: I believe this was 8 clicks out from full stiff and 6 clicks out on the stock set up.

Rear shock:

- Preload: Stock is 4th click from full soft (I believe SportRider is 5th click out from full soft)
- Rebound: can't remember.... have to check at home but I think it is two clicks softer than the SportRider setting (i.e. if SR was 6 clicks out from full stiff, Stock would be 8 clicks out from full stiff)
- Compression: I believe that SportRider had this 10 clicks out from full stiff and Stock is 8 clicks out from full stiff.

If you want, I can check these out at home as I have written them down on a notepad since I have been trying to fine tune my suspension setup as well.

I have this written down:

Stock Suspension:

Front: Preload is 6 lines showing, Compression Damping is 6 clicks out from full stiff, and Rebound damping is 6 Clicks from full stiff

Rear: Preload is 4 clicks from full soft, Compression Damping is 8 clicks from full stiff, and Rebound damping is 8 from full stiff.

This is what I observed for my 2005 when I was switching to the Sport Rider setup.

just turn it until it stops or does not click anymore, then turn it back a notch. (that would be max).

The way I understood the setup was that you turn to full stiff (which is clockwise until no more clicks) and then you start turning counter clockwise and count the first click as 1 click from full stiff.

I may be wrong on this, and someone please correct if so as I will have to go and add a click to all my settings, on my bike then!
