Softish and progressive, knock off the rebound damping a little as the shock/forks need to recover quickly over the bumps/ripples, everything bottoms out through bottom of Bray and Barregarrow so don't worry about that, if she feels good from Ginger Hall to Milntown then she should be fine elsewhere. I used to replace the head race bearings every year - cheap to do but a most critical part of the whole machine, make sure the steering damper is in top condition too - no dead spots at all and totally smooth in action as it's about to get a damn good beasting. Write down your settings and any issues with such settings, what(if) you change and don't go for big changes. Have a bloody good time ..
