If one stone is 14 pounds, like I think it is, then I'm the 14 1/2 pound
rider. Those settings, as stated, were indeed quite good and I used
them for some time. Since, I've changed the front springs and am
looking for a new rear spring to reduce preload and increase rate. I am
dissatisfied with the touring spring rates my RS has. However, although
I am running max rear preload, I am still using the rebound
recommendation for my weight/fast road.
Perhaps the t595 moderator adjusted the MCN values. From memory, the
stock settings look like what is in my owner's manual.
