I would guess six full turns from the stock position, which is minimal preload, would be about right for a rider who weighs 200 pounds.
Unfortunately, I weigh more than I should, so I am going outside shortly to add another 3 turns to the spring preload on my RX3.
This setting will bring me nine full turns from the minimal preload position.
I haven't added all the luggage, and the crash bars, to my RX3. Therefore, I might need to adjust the spring preload some more, after I finish adding all the equipment. However, it is much easier working on the bike in its current 'naked' configuration. I suggest riders sort out the suspension on this bike before they add all the luggage, et cetera.
