Lowering front end

Well, I searched a few different word combinations, but I can’t seem to find a topic in lowering the front end of the GRiSO for better handling. My question is, how far have you lowered the front end?

5 rings with standard suspension (SIdrat settings)
It is still rock solid at all speeds but turns in better

Are you talking about these settings:

Front
compression: 1/4 T (stock: 1 T)
rebound: 2 1/4 T (stock: 1.5 T)
preload: 5th mark (stock: 4th)

Rear
compression: 1/4 T (stock: 1.5 T)
rebound: 40 clicks (stock: 17)

All the way down - 6 rings showing (I think)

Hi evilgarfield
That is the settings I am using (Although I think that Sidrat did post another set of settings)

But i have also just wound the spring preload nut right down tight to get the rider-sag down to 30% of travel - about 36mm in my case

sorry i did not include the link
