I'm adjusting damping on my S3 and was wondering how far I should turn each adjuster in between test rides. Is 1/4 turn enough? Should I be doing full turns?
Any help appreciated.
It's raining now, forcing me to the computer, so the test ride will have to wait.

I need to do that too actually....****it.

However, I had to adjust the rebound?? I think it was on the rear because my kidneys were revolting from the stiff ride.

At any rate, I turned it a 1/2 turn and could defintely tell the difference.

I'll have to agree with Knightshade as well. When I adjusted mine I also went in 1/2 turn increments and it worked out great. The only other fun part was adjusting the rear preload a bit but I only needed to move it a half turn for my preference. Now it's fun freaking out the youngsters on the splat bikes, especially with an evil howling triple.
