Is the manuel that comes with the bike the best way to set up the dialings on the suspension?
I have new tires and lost a little weight. Bike rides different.
Any suggestions? Thanks

My thought is the manuals setting are ok if you are a lighter weight (160/175) and have the front and rear preload adjusted correctly. If you weigh more than listed above I do not think the manuals damping settings are correct and the rear preload allows to much sag which is great for wheelies but not cornering. I think the Shawn Higbee settings are much more confidence inspiring at least for me (I am 200Lbs geared up) without the wallow and porpoising I was getting with the manuals damping and preload settings. The bike is extremely flickable and goes exactly where pointed and is an absolute blast to ride.

I could use them also. I did the manual set up this morning, but doesn't feel quite right;better but not right.}

Look under archived Sept 30th... Under the suspension settings thread it's listed there...
