Pre load adjustment

Hi everyone with this been my first bike i don't have any experience with adjusting the pre load on the suspension anyone got a good base setting i could start with then move on from there, i'm 6ft and just under 14st if thats any help.

About the same as me weight wise. I just wound it in one notch at a time;
front first, then rode for a bit to get used to it,
wound rear in a notch and rode again.
Am now two notches in from stock settings front and rear and am happy with it for daily commuting, and the odd twisty fun
I'd suggest one notch at a time and see how you go for your riding style etc.
Have fun.

Remember to only change one thing at a time

Can't remember the exact stock settings, but it's about middle of adjustment for each.

Stock 3 on front, Rear i believe is 4 on S model and 3 on naked model.

i used this

but only using the preload guides obviously, only done front so far, cables ties on both forks (i did any way can only do 1 if you want), lose but not too loose just so no damage caused to stanchons or seals, add/remove a click each time, go for ride, messure the distance from bottom of cable tie to bottom yoke, each time you add remove a click, reset the cable tie, then once there is 10mm between cable tie and yoke, perect front preload set up, then set up rear sag (which i havent done yet, you may also find that then front needs messing with again) all explained in that guide.
