White Mille shock. Settings. Torque etc

#1 Post by MattG#116 » Thu Jun 05, 2014 7:45 pm

Hi Guys.

Due to current funds (wedding to pay for etc...) I bought a good white Sachs RSV shock that had only done 9139miles. My questions are as follows-

Does anyone have a guide for this shock (settings etc)
If not can anyone tell me wherr to start with it. I.e. how many clicks (on what i believe to be the pre load. Where the screw should be set for the hard and soft setting and where i should start with the spring. Just want nominal settings and i shall work from there.

Off the top of my head, no, but as this comes as stock from an RSV I'd start with the owner's manual for that (should be available online somewhere) and tweak from there

The Mille owners manual has the stock settings.
Can be downloaded from Martin Poll's website

Cheers guys.

What about the correct torque settings for the bots (when fitting).
