stock
I run the stock setup on my '09 12R for a 180-200lbs rider, but with rear preload up one (at position 5 rather than 4) and compression/dampening up 1/2 turn (3/4 turns out each, rather than 1 1/4 ea)
I like the additional turn in that the setup provides, and it handles like a champ. Michelin Pilot Powers at the stock 36/42 F/R psi.
I'm sure if I took it to the track I could stiffen it up some while bringing the tire pressure down for grip, but for the street I'm happy with a little "give" while still being sharp.
So.... what do you run?

I have my 09 12r set to the max recommended settings because I'm a fat ass.
Stock on my 09 12r but have thought about stiffening it up. I'm six foot and 160 pounds.
originally a 9SL, now a 9S to factory settings for heavy weights:D
Goose, seen you post looking for the steering head bearings, You didn't wreck did you? You OK?My current setup.
That sucks goose. How all is good?
I'm 6 foot, 200 lbs. I run a set up for a 220 lb riders. I prefer a stiffer ride. Keep your comments to yourself. ;)
I think you have a little too much rake Goose. Glad you survived intact. :DMy current setup.
