How do you all set the preload on your kafer bars ?

pulling inwards towards the bar itself or pushing outwards away from the bar ?

Thanks, Dan

i went just barely to the pulling side of neutral. wanted to keep things tighter, but from what i understand you don't want a bunch of preload on them.

Just installed mine and thought of that too. I figured since the engine wants to rotate righthand side, the right side wants to dive down bending the fork downwards (and it does, just blip the throttle and watch), so I preloaded the right side a bit by turning it inwards slightly.
Vice versa for the left hand side (when you stand behind your bug that is).
