Default Suspension settings?

Hiya, what do people think would be ideal settings for the shocks? 4 and 4? I am 84kg and new on the bike.

Cheers,

John

It depends a bit on your style of riding, but I'm about the same weight as you and found that I had to wind it to 2 on the front and 6 on the back. I do carry a topbox so that would account for some of the extra on the back.

Well I am taking it quite easy at the moment!

Hitting the pot holes today the bike seemed to absorb the bumps very well, I just worried that it might be too soft.

The front is definitely too soft for me, that's why it screwed down so much. I'll be changing the springs soonish, though.
