Just curious regarding the principle behind the rebound setting. According to the manual, a heavier rider needs more rebound damping (less turns out from the maximum). Shouldn't it be the opposite? I figure a lighter rider would need more rebound damping versus a heavier rider. I was testing the rebound damping effect with the spring removed. If I put the rebound toward the maximum setting (fully closed), the shock extends out very slowly, whereas at the minimum setting, it extends out quickly. I figure a heavier rider will need less rebound damping since his weight would counteract the rebound more so than a lighter rider. Any thoughts? | ||

it's all about moving mass against spring pressure. tim | ||

I posted here a few hours ago but it never appeared. So here it is again. Rather than fill up a few pages here I'll just suggest a book called Sportbike Suspension Tuning by Andrew Trevitt. Also, sportrider.com has some good info on their site |
