I see in my owners handbook 6mm of preload is recommended. Is it simply a case of loosening the pinch bolt on the adjusting collar & rotating until I have the 6 mm spacing between the adjusting collar & the top collar ? Cheers , John

That's how you set it, but you really need to set front & rear preload sag based on rider weight, not any "set" number.

All my pre-loads were done at a track day and the technician always got me to sit on the bike (fully kitted up ) and measure the static sag first. Not easy to do on your own but worth the time and trouble to get it right.

You can do it on your own with a front chock and . Handy gadget that can be shared easily. For a detailed video:
