Nice one

I think a lot of it is down to personal preference. I started off with 3 rings showing on mine as a base setting, to get some more ground clearance and hopefully sharpen the steering a bit more.

As it was my first time out with the bike built, it felt fine and I didn't want to change it until after about 4 rounds, when I dropped the forks through another line (now 2 showing) to make it turn a bit quicker, but to be honest there was not really much difference!

You'll get the bigger gain by sending your forks away to someone who knows what they're doing and can setup the springs, oil and airgap for your dimensions and the tracks you're on, and what feels right, rather than worrying about what everyone else is doing!

Going fron 3 showing to 2 showing would slow the steering not speed it up, admittedly it would be hard to tell a difference as that much is a tiny amount.
