Heading to the garage in about an hour. In the mean time, give this a quick read. It gets straight to the point without a lot of fluff. The only thing it kinda leaves out is rear rebound in the braking zone.

A thing that I learned when doing suspension setups is that sometimes multiple/compound adjustments need to be made to achieve the "feel" a rider is after but nearly everything I read said to only change one thing at a time. So I got a workbook and kept a running log of changes. Here is an example;

8/15/2010 - Front: Preload=2, HSC=3, LSC=4, RE=10 Rear: No Change (initial settings)
8/19/2010 - Front: Preload=2, HSC=2, LSC=3, RE=12 Rear: No Change (felt mushy while hard on brakes, not planted on corner entry)
8/20/2010 - Front: Preload=3, HSC=3, LSC=2, RE=12 Rear: No Change (felt better on entry, still not quite)
9/15/2010 - Front: Preload=3, HSC=3, LSC=4, RE=12 Rear: No Change (felt even better on entry, just a bit of dive on initial bite of brakes)
9/15/2010 - Front: Preload=3, HSC=2, LSC=4, RE=12 Rear: No Change (dats da spot! but rear chatters a bit, needs a bit more rebound)

Doing it like this allows you to return to any time/spot in your adjustments.
