fork preload- 6 turns clockwise from full soft
fork rebound- 1 turn counterclockwise from full hard
fork compression- 12 clicks counterclockwise from full hard

shock preload- #5
rebound- 1 turn counterclockwise from full hard
compression- 10 clicks counterclockwise from full hard

That's what the 03' owners manual says anyhow.

I might sound like a wimp, but I run both ends -3 on compression from stock. Gives a much better street ride. If your canyon carving though, don't go less than -2 from stock on the fork. Gets a little squishy.

Hey Cobra!

I was just looking in my owners manual, and thought, let me check these settings too,! Just to back Josh D. up!
And he's right ON!

Also, cobra, I owe you big time! Thanks!

Peace

Jeff

PS. Oh, how's school going?
