I'm still experimenting with the settings on my fully stock suspension.
For around town riding I usually run the front preload @ 3 rings, and rebound @ 1 turn from full hard; and the back preload at the 3rd position, with rebound @ 1 turn from full hard. On weekends I the same preload, but just do a half turn on front & rear rebound.

I had planned on shimming the rear shock, but never got around to it.
