[QUOTE="ajay, post: 965334, member: 28771"] Thanks for the help. my previous experience was with BMWs, lastly a R1150GS with Wilbers shocks set up for me. That bike (and others) were destroyed in the fire, and I never had a FJR before. Boy, I do like the FJR after riding about 300 miles last weekend. The roads in SE PA can be rough at times, however we had a very mild winter so they seem smoother than usual now. If I understand the recommendations, they are: Front preload - line 2 Front rebound - 6 clicks out (although some recommend 8 clicks on a low mileage '09) Front compression - 8 clicks out Rear preload - hard (a little confused here, some say soft) Rear rebound - 6 clicks out (right hand thread). Please comment if I have this wrong. Thanks [/QUOTE]
