Firebolt suspension settings?

[rider1086]

I've been looking for the right settings for my firebolt. I'm not sure what it should be set at and i don't have anything to tell me. I'm sure there is a post on here somewhere about it but i haven't found it. Can someone help me out? I weigh about 160-170.

the manual posted here should get you in the right direction for your suspension.

The owners manual gives really good base setting that goes by the riders weight from what I have read.

Top of fork center (both). Adjuster need to be turn clockwise to max. Then 1.5 turns back, then the nut below need to see 5.5 lines above nut, bottom of each fork clockwise to max then back 1.5 turns. Rear fork you need to remove seat the adjuster on the side needs to max then 1.5 turns, top of the fork is preload. It set on the third from lowest. There it an adjuster on the bottom of the shock same as the others is 1.25 turns. These are factory settings I have more aggersive set for harder riding
