Now the spring is here I'm dying to get on my new RSVR, I've only ridden it twice since buying it last November.

Anyway I think the guy who had it before me messed around with the suspension as he was about 8" shorter than me, does anyone know how many rings should be showing above the top yoke?

Cheers

If you have ohlins forks the 4th ring should be flush with the yoke

I'm sure others will have different answers, but I run 4 showing on my track Mille, but a lot of it is down to size, style, fork type etc, so it's a bit difficult to say what your bike should be set at. Start at 3, ride it for a while, then test and adjust as you see fit is not a bad way to go.

Cheers for the replies, yeah it's the ohlins fronts. I think I'll be getting it set up by Kais or 100% when I'm at the next trackday.

your owners manual has all default settings in it..

4 rings for track, 3 for road,  also has all preload and damping settings in it.
