Yes yes, I know what you're all thinking. Not another one of these. And yes, it's another one of these.
Had my first trackday out on the Daytona a few weeks ago and to be honest, everything felt quite civilised so I didn't bother changing anything.
Today I decided to go and check what the settings actually are as I got them off the previous owner. Here's what I found (Stock settings as per the manual in bold)
Forks (clicks from fully in)
Preload - 5 [5] rings (How do you define rings, is it the grooved rings, or the parts between the grooves?)
Rebound - 9 [6] clicks right, 10 clicks left
Compression - 10 [7] clicks right, 9 clicks left
Shock
Rebound - 5 [6] clicks
Compression - 6 [11] clicks
Now, I'm about 144lbs (65kg's) without gear, so I'm quite a lightweight.
How will these different settings affect the bike towards me? I've been reading a lot of guides and such, but I still can't get my head around it completely.
On the forks it looks like the rebound and compression are less than stock, which is fine for a lighter rider, or am I wrong?
On the shock it seems like it's the opposite, especially in terms of compression, or do I have it completely messed up?
Also, does anyone have the measurements for the full extention of the suspension to two defined points for setting up the sag, or will it be different on each bike? The only way to setup shock sag is with one of those c-spanners, correct?
Front sag should be 25-40mm and the rear 25-35mm (ish).
Also, just to confirm. Fully in means turning clockwise right? Lefty loosy, righty tighty?
Cheers!
