    After a few tries, I ended up with this shim configuration. It provides firm but comfortable sportsbike suspension performance.

    Front NIX30 left fork compression stack
    8/26/0.10
    8/24/0.15
    8/10/0.15 crossover
    8/22/0.10
    8/20/0.15
    8/18/0.15
    8/16/0.15
    8/14/0.15
    8/12/0.15
    8/10/1.3 clamp (Ohlins 18037-01)

    Rear TTX36 compression stack
    6/20/0.10
    6/18/0.10
    6/8/0.20 crossover
    6/16/0.10
    6/14/0.10
    6/12/0.10
    6/10/0.10
    6/7/1.5 clamp (Ohlins 01449-04)

    I think this should improve any Speed Triple R or RS with Ohlins NIX30 forks and TTX36 shock, at least for road use.

    You could pay a suspension specialist to install these specific stacks, rather than a vague “make it much softer at both ends”, as I did originally. Neither I nor the specialist could know just what was needed to make it satisfactory for me. As it turned out, the changes necessary in my shock were much more extensive than I expected.

    I would also specify new oil in both forks and new fluid in the shock if the bike has done more than about 10000km. Also, a new o-ring for the shock’s compression valve.
    I’m not equipped to refill the shock, but at 48000km my shock fluid looks a bit old, and the fork oil certainly did.

    I set the damping and preload at both ends at Triumph’s default values for road use, except the shock’s low-speed compression damping, at 8 clicks out, since the low-speed part of the stack is much more compliant now.

    If there is any interest, I can detail how I did the work myself for a few hundred dollars.
