I think Alex got ya, 3-5 but most suspension guys will say to not make large changes. If you're running 1 now, try a session or so on 3 before 5. Although, it's kinda t it for tat on the 250.

Will increasing the preload make the bike turn quicker? Nope, need to change the ride height or tire profile for that, but changing the preload is a good placebo effect sometimes. Thing is, the better the suspension is set to your needs and preferences, the better the bike will respond overall.
