130mm is a good setting for any Evo, pre 85, pre 90 conventional forks. The std settings in the manual are not necessarily the best settings, bit like std jetting..

+1. I generally start with 150, but usually end up with more.

Also, the stock springs are ridiculously soft. 0.27s or something - literally the right rate for a 0kg rider...  :o
So that's well worth fixing.

Thanks Guy's.  Yeh Nath the stock spring are suppose to run with air, I ordered a set of .46 springs from Walter yesterday.
