The range on that is 0 to 30. On all 3 of my previous full sized Wings, I always used a setting of 13 for a solo rider...setting # 1...and a setting of 22 for a heavier load...setting # 2.
And that is my point. On a full sized Wing, with a range of 0 to 30...I would use a setting of 13 as a solo rider, wanting to ride a sport mode bike.
On this F6B, with a range of 0 to 38 clicks...or 0 to 19 full turns of ther manual adjuster...I am set at 0...zero. I am set at the softest possible setting that can be made, and anything firmer is too firm for me. And...I ride the bike like it is a CBR600RR.
Whether Honda is using the same adjuster or not...and if they are...does it make a difference that the F6B uses a manual adjuster, whereas the full sized wing uses an electric adjuster...I do not know.
What I do know, is that there is a problem with these adjusters.
