keep in mind that the ohlins guy told me they like to see preload at about 7mm no more than 9mm. Which is pretty much spot on with gmps' 8 to 10mm suggestion. For the hell of it I cranked up the preload on my 06 300 to get near 100mm and did not like the results. Thats not to say 100 mm is bad ... just make sure you have the right spring for it.

Oh I agree with 10mm preload or less, that's why I suggested to go up 1 step on the spring. You won't need the preload cranked to get the 100mm. The front also for balance. Mix 1 .42 spring with 1 .44 and you get .43.
If you're not ever bottoming the forks you have too much oil in them and their hydro locking. Remove the bleeder screw and suck out 10cc at a time. The Zokes can use 150mm gap for off road and be fine. You do want to bottom them a few times a ride.
