Default stock rider weight and suspension

so i read the stock settings for suspension is 140 lbs. and that is how much i weigh, however i sometimes like to make hard turns.
my question is should i leave everything as stock settings or adjust the preload and other things?

I weigh about 135 and took mine in because I thought mine was too hard but it ended up being too soft. I would have someone check all the measurements and set it accordingly.

Where ever your reading that the suspension is set for 140lbs, stop reading there. The front is sprung for a 105lbs rider and the rear for 180lbs or so. If the suspension wasn't ment to be adjusted then they wouldn't build in adjustments [like on cars]. Either way stock is never, ever ideal for anyone.
