I did some tune up items on my CB today. After reading this thread I agree the stock settings are a bit too soft for my liking. I weight ~160 - 165lbs. Stock rebound settings according to the book are 2nd position from bottom on the rear shocks and third ring showing on the forks. In my opinion, the forks tend to dive a bit too much under hard braking. I adjusted my rear shocks to the 3rd position and I dialed in 1/2 turn clockwise on the front forks or ~ 2.5 rings showing. I figure make small adjustments rather than big ones. On my test ride today the bike definitely feels a bit tighter both front and rear. Going to try this for a while and see how I like it. So far so good.
