09-2012 stock rear preload setting

[HondaguyRob]

Hey guys, quick question. Tried searching forever for both an online manual and through the posts..

My bike: 2012 600rr (lost manual when moving)

Q: what is the stock setting on the shock, in terms of preload, and rebound/comp damping?

Bonus!* lol: what are the fork stock pre,reb/comp settings?

these are for 09. I dont think there is a difference with '12. I might be wrong. hope it helps

OEM Fork settings:

Preload 5 turns to min
Rebound 2-1/2 turns out from max (hard)
Compression damping 2 turns out max (hard)

Shock

Preload 2 position from min

Rebound damping 2-1/4 turns out from max

Compression damping 24 clicks out max

Thanks! (I also noticed a blue dot marking what I believe is the stock shock setting while waiting for a response, doh!)

Just to clarify, did you mean to altenate "to" and "from" on the "mins" for preload? And by min on the forks, I assume you mean turning to full stiff and then backing out 5-360 degree turns?

For example:

2 turns from max:

you would max then turn 2 full rotation.

Oh definitely, I understand that hahaha. I used to tweak my old SV's suspension all the time (although by feel, never by pre-determined settings found on the net), I just wanted to make sure your use of "min" was not a typo for "MAX." =}

Cheers, though. I appreciate it.

oh okay, didnt know how familiar you are with suspension, since those settings are verbatim from Honda.
