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.

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. :)
