Default Standard Shocks

I recently bought a K5 SV650S and love it. I am wondering if anyone can direct me to where I can find a list of the best settings for the standard shocks?

Cant direct you to a site but setting wise it depends on your weight and type of riding for example i had mine as hard as possible as i weigh 15st in riding gear and do quick road rideing but when my mate rode it he softened the the preload by 3 clicks as he only 10st. But if you want to start messing with setting upgrade the shock gixer or kwak shock its cheap and worth it

Depends how heavy you are really...

My front end is screwed right down (flush with the top of the forks) & the back probably needs to be at its firmest too (coz the shock is quite weak anyway (IMHO of course ))
