I am using the service manual Donsy but I am wondering what the reference setting is as usually all suspension settings I have come across are ie:
two or three turns from fully in for example or three or four clicks from fully in.
The section you posted does not say wether it is from fully in or fully out.
such as preload would be two turns for example but is this from fully screwed in or out.
I think the problem lies in he words reference point.
