KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS FOR THE 2011 RC4
* BV pressure: 140 psi
* HSC: -10
* LSC: -12
SPRING RATES:
~170lb rider: 350 spring
* REB: -7
~200lb rider: 400 spring
* REB: -5
The faster you ride, the more energy you are putting into the bike. Faster riders will need to add spring rate. Slower riders can decrease spring rate. Depending on your riding style you may find that you want to change the spring rate. Being honest with your assessment of yourself as a rider is the first step to getting your bike set up for you.
To increase support early travel, decrease spring rate and add preload.
To increase support end travel you can either add BV pressure or increase spring rate and decrease preload.
BOOST VOLUME (via bottom-out control):
I do not recommend changing the boost volume to anything lower than full open, as the dwDHR has ramp built into it's leverage ratio.
LSC:
Unless you pedal like a gorilla, really getting your hips into the action, you shouldn't need any additional LSC.
HSC:
These settings were based on a rocky East Coast test track. If you are on a smoother track with bermed corners and less square edges, you can increase HSC. If you are riding at World Cup speeds, you can increase HSC. If you feel the bike slowing down through rocky sections, you may be running too much HSC.
