I understand the later bikes have around 25 ML more fluid in the forks and some have felt the need to back off on rebound damping to compensate. Also in looking at adjusting rear suspension the chart in the WIKI page documenting adjusting the rear gives a 2 up recommendation of 28 clicks from full soft and my bike (2012) has only 24 clicks total from full soft (counter clockwise).
How many clicks will your 2012 rear shock adjust?
For those Who have done fork service on your older bikes and added the extra fluid have you adjusted the rebound softer and how
much?
I also noticed one peculiar trait I found only one person referring to in the suspension section of the WIKI. If I go below 18 clicks (like 14-16 clicks) on the rear my bike actaully starts to ride harder, not firmer but harder, like it doesn't absorb bumps as well. Anyone else
find this also? Someone said it was due to suspension geometry. Also my bike will go over railroad crossings with hardly a blip even with 20 clicks but rides harder at 16 clicks.
