Default 2018 EC300 Front and Rear Stock settings

So seeing as everyone else is lazy and hasn't pulled their forks and shocks apart for my own curiosity I had to do it myself!

KYB Front forks
Compression base valve:
11x0.3 (3)
20x1.7 (base plate)
14x0.3 (6)
16x0.11
18x0.11
20x0.11
22x0.11
24x0.11
26x0.11
28x0.11
30x0.11
32x0.11
21x0.11
32x0.11 (11)
Piston
Check valve
Spring
Collar
Nut

Mid valve: Compression
Stepped washer
8x0.2
Collar
Spring
17x0.3
15x0.3
11x0.3
12x0.11
14x0.11
16x0.11
18x0.11
20x0.11 (4)
Piston (had the usual bleed hole forgot to measure it)
20x0.11 (3)
12x0.11
18x0.11
16x0.11
14x0.11
12x0.11
11x0.11
16x1.5 (base plate)
Nut
(Float was 0.7mm in the above stacks)

KYB Rear Shock:
Compression:
22x0.3
24x0.3
26x0.3
28x0.3
30x0.3
32x0.3
34x0.3
36x0.3
38x0.3
28x0.11
32x0.11
40x0.2 (10)

Rebound:
36x0.2 (7)
28x0.11
36x0.3
34x0.3
32x0.3
30x0.3
28x0.3
26x0.3
25x0.3
24x0.3
23x0.3
26x0.4

Hope this helps some one! I stiffened up the rebound damping on both the shock and forks and softened the compression in the base valve as I was most of the way out on the clickers and mostly in on the rebound. I added a 5.8kg/mm rear spring and some 0.46kg/mm springs up front. Not massive changes as it is pretty good out the box!
