Compression and Rebound starting point for a lightweight Empty

I seem to be a lot lighter than anyone else who has posted suspension settings for a wr250r... 140lbs without gear

Just looking for some baseline settings or a combo that someone else has used that works for general dual sport riding. I don't hit jumps or go hard offroad.. and even if I did I doubt I would bottom out even with the clickers set all the way soft..

One thing I would like to dial in however is the rear end action on washboards, especially going up hill. It really seems to lose traction when the bumps are small and fast

Set the rebound at 3 out on the shock and the compression most of the way out ie 8-10 clicks out.
Run the spring preload as soft as you can too, since your really lite back the preload off until the spring wiggles on the shock then add just enough preload to keep the spring in place.
The problem with the shock is it needs 50% more rebound and you cant add that much adjusting the clickers, this makes the rear of the bike dance around on small bumps and kick straight up on larger ones. Running the rebound clicker on max (3 out) and as little preload as possible helps a lot and gets it closer to where it should be.

On the forks simply turn the compression out most of the way, they're a touch stiff but don't do anything bad.
