Just under 13 stone in kit, 0.85kg springs, 10w oil, oil height 140mm.Preload minimum, compression 12 clicks out from max, rebound 5 out from max (started with standard 7 and 4 respectively).
In a word, disappointing. Longer version - from a handling perspective, far better at holding lines, but remains harsh, kicking up over bumps. Perhaps I've been spoilt by suspension setups from other bikes, but to me, over bumpy back roads (where I spend a lot of my time) the bump compliance is still nowhere near good enough. I bought this bike with the possibility of touring in mind, but that's not an option until it can go over uneven roads without delivering impact shocks to me through the bars.
As a final fork mod, I'm cutting the internal preload spacer down by 10mm and reducing oil height to 150mm to see if it becomes marginally softer.
After that, I'm not sure re options. Unlikely to go down the R1 fork route again. Might fit R6 5SL forks again or get someone like Maxton to modify the internal valving.
