Suspension question from new SM owner who already did the search.

If you search about the suspesion it is very hard to find the "SM" specific suspesion. There are a few threads about those that have converted to SM but are using the S suspension. Suzuki's SM is different. I can't locate a tutorial or something regarding these specific shock and fork settings.

I have an 05 SM and I want to be able to intelligently setup the suspesion. The bike is ridden on the street for commuting and hooliganism. I believe I would like it setup on the stiff side, it makes for better weight transfer in my opinion. And before I get bombarded with, try adjusting the compression, preload, rebound, I need pics or something showing which adjuster is which.

By the way, I weigh about 185 without riding gear.

Did you not get an owners manual with the bike ?

If not your dealer owes you one if it was bought new, and if second-hand he will sell you one, they are not expensive.

Mine cost me £6.50 for my "S"

I got one, and I understand it as much as I understand the bible. Did you know people actually fight wars over that thing? I guess I'm sorta at war with my suspesion.
