R6S Fork Adjustments

[Hondo64d]

Just finished my R6S fork mod, and need detailed description on how to adjust preload, compression, and rebound. Does anyone have the service manual description?

Many thanks,

John

Front Spring preload 1-8 lines showing. 1 being max. standard is 7

Rebound 1-10 clicks. 1 being all the way turned in for max rebound. standard is 9 clicks out

compression 1-9 clicks. standard being 7 clicks out

once i set the preload right i increased the rebound and compression 2 clicks from standard since i weigh a little more than what yamaha sets the bikes up for. I weigh 205 and set rebound to 7 clicks out and compression at 5 clicks out. I really only rode it for a couple days before the end of the season so i can really comment on them. I also have the forks flush with the clamps.

When adjusting preload, is it necessary to loosen anything like the tripple clamp or the fork cap before turning the blue preload adjuster?

Thanks,

John

No you don't.

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to get the manual to you. I have it on my computer at work and haven't been in for a couple days cause of snow and then christmas.

I'll try and find the site I pulled it off for you.

Keep in mind, "standard" is with regard to the R6, not our bike. Decent base-line regardless.

Do you know how to set preload / measure sag?
