All set. I never check this preload when I purchased the bike. From what I can tell both forks were full soft. I had to crank the preload for what seemed to be for ever. It seemed to be way more than 15 turns out from full in (hard).

 

Strange i did it on my for a many times, are you sure that you turn it wright, clockwise?

 

Mine was 8 turns when i bought it.

 

Any one have the link to the cycle world setup

Not much help there it just say's Jim took 2 turns off the preload on the forks. You need to set the sag for your weight. Front and Rear. I just had my sag readjusted be LE, my rebound settings stayed the same. all the way in on the fork and about 5 clicks in on the shock. the ride is much better.
I adjusted the sag when my bike was new and it made a big difference in the ride.:thumb:
Steve from Lindemann Engineering making adjustments to my suspension at La Ducati Day in La Honda on Sunday. I was really hoping to see Jim Lindemann there but Steve told me that Jim had another surgery for his brain tumors about 5 days before and was not up to making it. Ive know Jim from about 1978 back when he worked at Moto-X Fox and I worked down the street at Proto Pipe Exhaust Systems in Campbell CA.
