Interesting post and Bilbo seems to crop up lot for suspension advice.
Ive a 2005 Gen 2.
90kg fully kitted
15W Oil
K Tech 9.0 springs
pre load on 2nd line from top.

Ive got some modified damper rods to fit along with YSS emulators. Reading this ill start with a 130mm air gap and 2.5 turns on the emulators. I believe this is 2.5 turns from when applying pressure to the spring? I will mainly using this bike for track days with some road riding as well occasionally.

Do you feel this is a good starting point?
