Oil Level 6" (152 mm)
Fork Oil 15W

I have no idea why 6" (152mm) vs the 6.3" (160mm) on the instructions. Again I have no experience with the settings. I need to get it right the first time!

Why did you decide on 10W?-It's the weight we used with the 21" and the one the Master Race Tech installer suggested for the softer ride I was hoping for with the 18
How much do you weigh?-190
Have you tried a setting higher than the 1.5 turns?-Not yet, but likely will
Do you think changing the preload requires adding spring tension to the emulator?-Not sure about that one
Answers in red above. I'm confident I'll have this resolved before next week this time.
