1.5 turns from full stiff on rear compression damping
1 turn from full stiff on rear rebound damping
Preload 20mm showing from top of threads to rings

Front rebound 8 clicks out from full stiff
Front Compression damping 8 clicks out from full stiff
Front preload 4 lines showing

I'm surprised at how well the forks performed. The shock was okay but needed damping dialed all the way in. I guess I need to go on a diet. :D

I may end up getting a rear ohlins afterall. This bike really didn't need that steering damper. I think it's overkill. I'll make my decision about the forks after the first trackday. I need to see how they hold up after hours of abuse.

Also, I want to see how the suspension responds with race rubber on the bike. Overall, I am impressed with the stock Showa suspension.
