Preload vs Compression vs Rebound

I'm still trying out the settings to catch the sweet spot for normal riding.

I found out that the rebound on Road setting seems excessive, so I took it down a notch.
The front stock setting was also too soft, so just today I tried turning up the compression but haven't yet properly tested this setting.

For context, I weigh ~110kg (242lb).

For this week I'll be running the settings like this:



Any suggestion?

It's pretty much trial and error. I did bump up my payload mode from single rider to rider + luggage tho. Maybe try that if it's a bit soft. It may take a while to get it to you liking.

Yes, you're right.

Problem is that with the whole COVID problem, I can't ride the motorcycle nearly as much as I'd like.
So it actually takes nearly a week to validate if I actually like the current setting

Regarding the rider + luggage suggestion, already tried it and was too much I believe. As far as the preload on the back suspension, I believe that the +2 works good for me.

This whole trial and error is great fun, actually.
