Checked the service manual and can't find it but I swore it was there. The max "safe" adjustment out is 5 lines yes? The new suspension is in and going to tweak in the next few days so just wanted to make sure before I get ahead of myself! :)
 
That depends on where you want to set yur sag. I set my sag at 1.5 inches weighting 210 lbs. Been so long ago I forgot what springs I put in with the Race tech valve.
 
I remember you were running stock springs and preload cranked up pretty high so might have missed you finally going the better route! :) Either way I'm on the 5th line with the preload out which I believe is max so it seems I need to cut the spacers some on the next fork oil change! But she sure does ride better! :D

I'm backed out all the way with the 1.1 springs I think that's what is in there now. Came with the Race tech set up. Also running 5 wt fluid.
 
So still never found the 5th last line. But noticed they seem to physically stop way after the 4th. Is this a built in "max" spot on the adjuster? Or am I just loosing it?
