I noticed the forks on the XB12STT are different from the other XBs.
Can someone describe how the spring preload works.
Are there noticeable clicks or do you count the number of turns to adjust, since there are no visible lines to count?

Reduce preload to minimum, then count turns in to get to the desired setting. The thread pitch is 1.0mm so one turn = 1mm preload change. This system is a little lighter and has fewer parts than the older style.

Thank you Anonymous.
It's simple enough.

Is there any ride height change available through this, or is it just a rebound / dampening setting? If not, is it possible to put the XB12SS forks and rear shock on the TT to lower it down any? I am short d@mnit!
