For those having issues you might want to try these settings. After a year or so of messing around I finally found this table and set to my weight. Wow. I will not have to mess w/my settings again. On & off cloverleaf ramps used to be fun, now they may cost me my M status!

Thanks Shawn.

Isn't everyone using them?

Well, everyone but me that is.

How different are they from what's posted in the Owner's Manuals?

Is that the "aggressive" settings most people already use here, or is this a different setup altogether?

HAH! Just in time for me to setup the suspension on my XB! Thanks for the post! (although the lowest weight listed is 150... guess I need to step up my taco bell consumption.)

Isn't that chart for the "L" models which have a different shock and fork spring setup than the rest of the xbs?

No, not for the "L" models... The settings were originally for the XB9R

DUDE, I think you officially qualify as "petite". If you want, I'd be willing to donate about 25 pounds!
