    Hi not the best with the suspension and i normally leave with the professionals but its still on standard settings front forks and new rear TTX

    2012 cbr1000rr

    My suspension chap is going to be in Cartagena but with loads testing there he said he might not get to me straight away so he gave me some rough base settings until he gets to me

    i cant get hold of him now but on the bottom of the fork (preload) he said 5 turns out from fully soft anti clockwise but the actual adjuster clicks am i right in just ignoring the clicks and doing complete turns ? I think I'm right as there is about 50 clicks in the adjustment so 5 from soft has got to be full turns ? heres the settings he gave me if anyone interested or can add

    front forks

    Rebound (ten) standard 4.5 turns now 2.5 turns
    comp standard 5.5 turns now 4 turns these from fully hard clockwise then out .

    preload standard 7.5 turns now 5 turns this one from fully soft anti clockwise then clockwise .

    rear ohlins TTX He said leave as is and i counted they both (comp and rebound) have 13 clicks out from fully in clockwise then out

    Thanks everyone ;)

    Manual also says turns
