Last year, from a suggestion by Dave Moss, I had the fluid changed in my 06' 14. While doing that I had the shop put in new seals and set the triple tree down 3/8". At the time I was switching from 8 clicks to 10 clicks depending on riding solo or 2-up. I noticed the right fork max was 8 clicks!
Because of this and the fact I had never done it before, I closed them both, test ride, then opened 2 clicks at a time and another test ride. Same road, same bumps, same speed, same lean, to determine the difference. If you haven't done it, full closed was a bit scary for me. As I progressed opening 2 clicks at a time, I got a pretty good idea, that there actually is a difference I could easily detect by a change of 2 clicks but not so much 1 click at a time. By the time I got to 8 clicks each, everything felt good. So I kept it at 8 for the 3-4 days I rode until putting it back in the shop.
The shop said they think they got the rod out of alignment. When I got it back, everything was back to normal, with full adjustment on both sides. (the mechanic and I had a discussion about fully testing his work in the future!!).
BTW: As others have found out, setting the triple tree down was a great improvement for my riding style. I will go to 5/8" this spring, which I think will make it even better but still stable for 2-up and touring.
