[QUOTE = "Si., Post: 470401, membre: 28"] I try 3 config by Dave Moss but it's hard in the Canyon

 

I've been using these settings for 2 years now on my 13 plate, I'm 16.5st in normal clothes so probably 17st ish maybe a bit more in leathers, been perfect for me apart from rear pegs clipped my hugger with the Mrs on back. So I took her off with the daughter on it's fine

 

hi guys, sorry to bump old thread, but when adjusting preload on rear shock, if im at left side of bike am pushing spanner towards front of bike or back, its a 2012 showa stock, stumbled upon this thread gonna try them kais settings tomorrow..
ive ohlins in track bike so use to just doing from the top on preload adjuster... also is it just one click at a time or full revolution for 1 turn, wanna set to 6/10 as suggested in thread, not sure what is now.. ta

 

there are 10 notches in the underneath adjuster, if I remember right 1 is turning left (towards front wheel) through to 10 turning right(towards back) on the stand side of the bike, hope this helps

 

Sorry fella, but if you have to ask that maybe you shouldnt be playing with stuff!
It is obvious when you look at the standard shock which way stiffens it up!

 

Whilst we're all enjoying this old thread, I might as well ask...

Any reason these settings wont apply to my 15 plate blade? ...feel like giving them a try

 

No reason why not, don't think anything changed between 13 and 15 apart from rider position and small internal engine adjustments

 

Yeah the OP states SHOWA forks, which I have so........lets try it and see!

 

Be worth take note of your current settings incase it needs go back

 

Yep, will do.

 

This is a few years old so I don't suppose you still have these settings?

 

Actually, 14 onward have 2 extra clicks on front compression compared to 12 and 13.

 

Ok, I’ve no experience of suspension fettling....does that mean I shouldn’t meddle?

 

That frt preload setting is unusual given your weight.. 2 turns softer than standard ?

 

For those with the 2017 - 18 Blades, I have found this informative:

Set up my M1 setting to that, its better than the A settings

 

I use it too, in conjunction with my own 'User' setting for the overweight and under accomplished.

 

Funnily enough im fiddling tonight.. just added two turns of preload to get a 40mm setting in frt, rear was ok at 30mm

 

Every day's a school day, didn't know they'd changed the forks between the years, live and learn
