    I have a second hand tiger sport 2016 model. The adjusting screw for the rear preload was initially stuck but managed to eventually free it with WD40. There appears to be 2 complete turns from the hardest to the softest setting with a click after each complete turn. However the Handbook says the factory setting is 28 clicks back from from the hardest setting - is this correct ? I presume that the correct setting for rider only is a middle setting of just one turn from fully adjusted ?

    I have a 2016 model and bought it in July 2017 , i found the front and rear settings nearly knocked my fillings out , i have backed of the preload front and rear , i just kept incrementally winding it out till i was happy with it,i did not keep notes,just back it off 5 clicks at a time and see what you think on a test ride.the original settings are fine if fully loaded.i`ll post a pic when i can edit to a smaller size.
