I stopped while riding today and adjusted the rear preload. I don’t know where it was nor how many turns to get it all the way backed off, but it was a lot. Reset it to 7 clicks and little to no resistance on the first few. The front bobbing over every bump stopped, but the steering wasn’t as quick and there was some looseness in the rear on corner enters, as expected with less preload.
Made some time to fiddle a bit with the rear after riding today, followed Igorfar’s great instructions to clean and fill the preload reservoir with hydraulic jack oil. The only weird thing is that is does not “click” anymore, but the cyliner is clean so I can see where I am and each click was180 anyway, so east to count.
It looks like I’m using about 40-45% of the travel just sitting on the bike when set at the “standard“ line, so it’ll need more. That, and the rebound adjuster, are for tomorrow.
