Damping count

Compression / rebound: turn clockwise gently until it stops. This is fully hard / maximum / 0. Then turn anti-clockwise and count clicks or turns out.

Preload direction

Anti-clockwise reduces preload / softer / lower. Clockwise increases preload / harder / higher. Do not force adjusters after they stop.

Fine tune

If bouncy, add +1 rebound. If harsh, reduce -1 compression. If rear sits low, add rear preload. Confirm by sag and safe test ride.

Disclaimer: This calculator is based on Honda factory-standard owner’s manual baseline settings supplied for this page. Rider weight adjustment is an estimated starting point only. Base rider is treated as 75kg estimated solo rider. Honda does not clearly state exact rider weight for these standard settings. Final setup depends on rider preference, tyre, road/off-road condition, luggage, pillion weight and suspension condition. Check sag where possible, test ride safely and consult a professional suspension technician if unsure. Use at your own risk.
