| KW Variant 3 set up lists. In a recent thread by claytarget_god i've realised there are a lot a people running these kits. I thought they were awfull when I first fitted them with factory settings but by softening both the bump and rebound damping rates I was able to make the ride both almost comfortable and grip so MUCH better. I'd be interested to know what settings you guys have found to work and may also help new purchasers with a better starting point. Starting with standard set-up (recommended by KW  )All valves fully closed then open: Front rebound 1.5 turns Front Bump 1 turn Rear rebound 2 turns Rear bump 1 turn I then made the following adjustments: Front top (rebound) 3 clicks (half turn anticlock) - softer Front bottom (bump) quarter turn anticlock - softer Rear top (rebound) half turn anticlock - softer Rear bottom (bump) 1 click (quarter turn) - softer I found the improvment here was vast but have not played about with them since as they are now acceptable. However can I make them better? Lets start a set up sheet
