Re: Stripping forks, why does it say NOT to remove the adjuster?
I dont see why the adjuster wont screw right down into the body when taken off the damper rod.
I asked a friend with an R3L UK and he has 12 and 13 clicks on his 2 fork legs, so I checked an original R3L UK , [ 700m, not had first service ] and that has 13 clicks on each, both set at 4 from fully in.
Hope his helps,
Dave.

Re: Stripping forks, why does it say NOT to remove the adjuster?
The adjuster on my faulty one wont screw all the way through the body when its removed from the damper rod. I don't know if this is because it is faulty or they are designed that way.
13 clicks as standard. I think i will try and base my settings on 13 clicks.
Maybe my original working adjuster has been off and someone has not assembled it correctly.
I shall go back and have another good look at the working adjuster.
Thanks for all your help Dave. It's much appreciated. :)
