Forks are coming back from service today. Oil/seals/new compression shim stack. I noted the setting before removal, but I'm curious what people have settled on on their bikes. In my case I only had 80 miles of light duty before startus interuptus and a weepy seal shut me down, so I didn't develop a baseline.

As previously stated, two rings.
That’s the way my bike was delivered. It seems to work for what I do.

Important to remember the way the rear suspension is set up affects how many rings you may need at the front for optimum balance.....I run a Stelvio shock which pushes the rear up enough that I only need 2 rings at the front....

As Paulbrice said, I have a longer Ohlins shock which has changed the bikes geometry, so I run 1 ring showing

I noticed on mine that I have 3 rings on the upper white part and 2 rings on the black part.
According to the workshop manual the standard settings is 5 on the white and 3 on the black.
Do you have any idea what does that mean on the drive ? Would it be better to revert to the initial settings ?
First you should adjust the sag for your Wright (rings on the white party). The number of rings on the black part depend on your driving style/preferences. If you feel the bike resists to leanning while entrering the corners drop the forks a ring more

Thank you Mathias. I probably need to make some tests because when riding I don’t feel any difficulties leaning the bike except in some roundabout but this might be improve.
I bought GRiSO as a second hand and since then (more than 10 years) I never changed the settings.
This post opened my eyes.

I only tried it after many years of owning the bike too, but I could feel a noticeable difference by dropping the forks.

Note: when I say dropping the forks I mean more rings showing on the black tube.
