Default Suspension Settings

Well I've seen a lot of questions about suspension and Dialing it in so I set out on a quest to solve my suspension delima and I found this. The dealers are all clueless and they only reset them to factory specs and besides they don't know how you feel on your bike so they cant really set it up for you. I read many articles and these are a few. The only thing that really helped me was turning the dialsand riding. I let some all the way out and some all the way in and when my bike road like crap I just went back to the recomended settings from sportrider and started over. btw when you are turning the dials a little goes a very long way and the speed that you ride MOST of the time is where you want it to feel the best. Here are the links.I printed every link I could find and made a little book and highlighted all the steps so that I have sort of a manual. The hardest part will be determining whether its bad rider input or suspension adjusting that needs to be fixed, so you have to put several miles on it for each small adjustment before you can tell if your adjustment is better. I used the same road every time so that the different areas didn't confuse me. For you guys that already know all this, ignore all of my blabbing and correct anything you see that is in error.
