Fork suspension

[Davdundrod]

Hi Guys, hope you all having a decent season.
Once again, all advice greatfully recieved.
I have a suspicion my suspension could be better.
I have never had to adjust any preload or damping
On a bike before and would like to know how to do this on my 2007 1050.
I see there are two adjustments on the front, big blue nuts and finer screw adjusters.
Can you please advise me what position ( in simple terms) these should be ideally at and how to adjust.
I ride on very good roads without luggage or pillion passenger.  I would prefer a soft suspension over that required for sporty riding.
Also the rear as well if you can manage it.
Incidently i have been riding for 30 years, but more slowly since a bad industrial accident. A bloke yesterday said very cheekly to me if i only rode on straight roads because of the wear up the middle of my tyres. He inferred i dont bamk my bike over a lot to wear the side walls of my tyres. Should i be worried, i dont ride very fast and bank the bike over at speed at my age anymore.

Hi David, our bikes and riding styles are almost identical and I’ve been thinking the same thing but haven’t had a chance to get to it yet.

Here’s a link to the suspension page sticky’s that hopefully will give you a starting point.
