He's probably referring to the number of turns for the adjustment. In the manual there is a chart that tells you how many turns you need from 0 depending on rider weight plus passenger and cargo.

Thank you I will dive into this manual first thing in the morning as I always try to read these things to familiarize myself with new toys.

not too much wrong with airsuspension. You need to be precise with the reading. i run 18 most of the time i like it firmer. However 15 is not too bad if no real luggage. Like most suspension issues it is the front end that lets the bike down. Ill fit intimators which were great on my triumps. One of the positives is improved braking.

On my '22 RK I run about 18 (that's setting number, not pressure) and that stopped all the bottoming out I was experiencing. I found the ride was very much improved with the preload cranked up. Coming off a new Goldwing, the King's suspension feels agricultural, but it works fine and I don't feel any wallowing or other issues. I don't plan to upgrade the suspension anytime soon.
