Default Rebound Settings/Suspension

Do our f2's have rebound settings? I know they have preload. I'm going to bring RedRidingHood out of hibernation and try to set up my suspension this year. I got the bike last year and didn't know jack about it. I figure that's why I never feel confident riding the twisties. Check out these video's and let me know what applies to our F2s.

Sag isn't rebound, it's preload!

I know...that's why I wanted to know if our bikes had rebound settings because I know we can adjust preload.

I think only the 94 F2's have rebound and dampening on them, but some one may know more. Supposedly swapping the rear shock from 94 F2 or any F3 is a breeze though, and gives you a lot of functionality!

In 1994 the F2 was still going strong and came in these colours in the UK. I had the black/purple one above.
The only minor differences I remember were the addition of adjustable rebound damping to the rear shock
As I said the 1993/4 CBRs got revamped suspension.
The front forks had rebound damping adjustment and the rear also got adjustable compression damping.
pulled from juliet's f2 super review. so i'm guessing as long as its 94 and up then yes?
