Some settings for the rear Ohlins on my SP3. Needless to say the information in the Owners manual and the Factory manual are different, so here are both. It might also be worth downloading this manual from the Ohlins web site: http://www.ohlins.com/pdf/07241-02.pdf

Owners manual:
Shock absorber described as DU8070.
Operating pressure - 17 atmospheres
Compression (knob on remote reservoir) - fully clockwise then 14 clicks anti-clockwise
Rebound (knob on bottom of shock) 0 - fully clockwise then 15 clicks anti-clockwise
Preload - no information

Factory manual:
Shock absorber described as DU0060.
Operating pressure - 14 atmospheres
Compression (knob on remote reservoir) - fully clockwise then 12 clicks anti-clockwise
Rebound (knob on bottom of shock) 0 - fully clockwise then 12 clicks anti-clockwise
Preload - to give sag of 5 -10 mm without rider, 30 - 40 mm with rider

Overall, the settings in the two manuals and in the Ohlins manual aren't that different, so I guess any of them would be a starting point - my opinion only of course!
