Re: fuel tap
if your standing beside the bike looking at the tap ,whatever is on top (at 12 o'clock) is what it's at, if i remember right if ON is at 12 and you turn it right one click thats OFF and one more click right is RES
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

Re: fuel tap
The standard shocks do not have ride height adjustment I'm afraid
They do have pre-load and damping though.
There are some cheap (and not so cheap) options to gain some extra ride height.
10w 40 is the recommended oil, but to be honest the little V4s aren't too fussy as long as you change it regularly. Semi-synthetic works well for me. In my experience, full synthetic can give a little clutch slip.

Re: fuel tap
mod yourrear link then ,rick oliver does (or did) a conversion were you sent him your rear linkage and he modded it and returned it, i jacked the rear up 27mm or similar and increased leg room and turn in, a worthwhile mod if you ask me
