I've just bought a little Honda CD250U. I'm wondering if anyone is able to give me some pointers in regard to setting up my rear suspension? There are five preload settings on the shocks. It is set on the lowest setting (e.g. 1 of 5) at the moment. When I'm cornering it feels a bit spongy, should I crank it right up (5) or something in the middle like (3 or 4)? The bikes tool kit has the tool to adjust the shocks.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Try it out on 5 as this is the max & see how much better or worse it feels may be alittle hard in town over smalll bumps . if so take it back 1 try again .

Thanks a lot! So, crank it all the way up and just go back one notch at a time till I find the setting I like?
