revised odo cable routing scheme, similar to the fix reported in our ’95 KTM

Those settings ended up at: fork compression (left fork leg) at full hard, one
click out from full clockWise (CW); fork rebound (right fork leg) four clicks

shock rebound 16 clicks out from fully closed (full CCW, when looking down);
sag 110 mm.
