well just remember. all the way clock wise is 0 which is the stiffest and you turn it COUNTER clockwise (16 clicks is the most you should go) to go softer...


Most people do not know this and think that all the way counter clock wise is the stiffest and turn it clockwise to go softer, which is not correct.

I'm sorry, but that does not make any sense, care to revise or explain, if he is to turn it counter clockwise to go softer it will just make it stiffer. AM I missing something????

CLOCKWISE = stiffest
click back COUNTER clockwise up to 16 for softest

read the manual !!!!

clockwise = hard
counter clockwise = soft
standard is 8 counter clockwise from fully clockwise

my setup for street is not that far from standard
7 front and 8 rear.

ride it on standard for a couple of days then change it..
that way you get a better feel for what you really want..
