[QUOTE="LAF, post: 834485, member: 20868"] Thanks for the information once again. It is a confusing subject for some of us to grasp and your explanation makes it a little easier to understand. I know I was wondered if my settings from Traxxion were right and due to the different oil level recommended by them, 1.1 Omni Springs, and 10W oil. I used what they said and it is very close to what you advocate for starting points on OEM. Not identical but close and that tells me your recommend settings are very good. I think the point is you need to be in the range of recommended rider weight to achieve the best results. Or do as I did and buy new springs and service your front forks. I am 215 or so with full gear on, 190 or so in street cloths. So reading that the stock springs are optimal for 175 pound rider I knew I had to get some springs to handle my weight without going to the outside limits of OEM springs. I think this is a big issue and you advocate the upkeep of forks and oil in your posts and also recommend springs for your weight. Information is here and all you have to do is find a starting point and ride it. Make one adjustment at a time and ride it. With the base settings it makes it relative easy to change and experiment a bit and if you FUBAR, go back to your original settings and try again. I thank you for your time in 'splaining things and as always you can walk a horse to water, but you cant force them to drink. [/QUOTE]
