    Was just wondering if the rebound control setting is only a 1-5 thing, or does the amount of full turns you give change it even more?

    Couldn't find any info quick about it.

    Do you mean anti-dive? If so, it's a gradual adjustment... I think the lines are there to help you make sure that both sides are set the same.

    No, I mean the rear rebound adjustment Stereo (Might be a Seca only thing) Also, NOT the preload, I know how that works :)

    I didn't even bother looking to see if my anti dive works lol, as long as the brakes work i'm happy.

    it's a one click thing, if you go all the way around from 1 to 1 it's still 1
    just like the spring preload

    Seca 750 has 5 settings for rear spring pre-load.

    Speaking of anti-dive don't forget to put some air in your forks once in a while. If you've got a ratty 4th hand bike it'll do wonders for ya if you think the front suspension is crappy or you want new springs. I rode mine almost a year before realizing what those little chrome caps on the trees were covering.

    Reaffirmed my aphorism that everyone should make their manual part of their casual reading.

    Right, but KrS mentioned that he is not talking about pre-load :)
    The little damper control wheels have 4 settings, at least on my Seca.

    Yes Stereo, that's the one i'm talking about. I couldn't remember if there were 5 or 4 settings. As long as it's a 1-4 thing and full turns don't change anything that's all the info i needed :)

    Thanx guys!
