Could someone please post the settings for 190lb rider? I have everything set for drag racing and don't have a manual with me. I'm in the mountains trying to keep up with the group... With little luck.

FRONT
PRELOAD: 7 turns in from min
COMP: 1 5/8 - 1 1/2 turns out from max
REBOND: 1 1/2 turns out from max

REAR
PRELOAD: 4-5
COMP: 18-16 clicks out from max
REBOUND: 1 turn out from max

These are from the 09 manual and you are right on the edge of the settings so I gave you the 170-190 info and the 190-210

This is what I like for all my riding including the mountains. I weigh 170 lbs.

Front:
Preload - 4 turns from minimum
Comp Damping - 3.25 (maxed out to minimum)
Rebound Damping - 2

Rear:
Preload - 2 from minimum
Comp Damping - 22 turns
Rebound - 3.5

Turn up the rear rebound damping one click at a time if you feel the rear end shímmy during hard cornering.

I've found this gives me the best ride AND keeps the rear planted in the turns. The '08 has a much firmer suspension than '09's so those settings will be way too stiff for '08's.
