| SP-2 Fork Setup Hello all! I have a new to me set of SP-2 forks on the way and seached for setup advice and found this: Front Preload: 4 turns out Front Rebound Damping: 2 turns out Front Comp. Damping: 8 clicks out Rear Preload: position 5 of 8 Rear Rebound Damping: 1 turn out Rear Comp. Damping: 6 clicks out Does this sound like a good place to start and is there an electronic copy of the manual floating around that I could download so I can figure out which knob is which? Thanks, Rick C. Last edited by CaptainCalf : 06-11-2008 at 1:10 PM. | |

 | Re: SP-2 Fork Setup Suspension setup is rider specific. Anywhere is a good place to start. Each click should make a difference. The pdf does happen to be floating around, though. Seach rc51 service in this forum, there should be a link to a speedzilla forum post with the correct download.

| Re: SP-2 Fork Setup You are close. Go with 10 clicks out on the front compression dampening and 4 on the front rebound. The RC forks needs to move a bit to keep the ride from being real harsh. I have found anything less makes the front suspension feel constricted and locked. I'm 180 pounds and run with a tank bag and run Michelin Race rubber. 90% Canyon riding. The suspension settings are a work in in progress. Make sure you check your static suspension sag before you start turning knobs and valves........Chal |

I should have the forks on this week and will be tweaking them with your suggested settings | |
