Talk about being empowered!

I'm starting to understand why its so hard to get a bike perfectly dialed in.

Stock settings mean nothing, it's all about you.

Start on Day 2 (setting preload and sag) and then set
your rebound and compression settings to half way
between full off/on and adjust as u see fit to your
riding style as u go.
