Nah man, you’r good. Owe is such a big word, but if you have time feel free to come an BS for a while.

Going back to OEM suspension setting, it is only may be kinda work for a certain group of rider weight, and most likely all the damping will be wrong. If you have the weight of a half eaten burrito like me or kind of heavy, most likely the OEM setting will be way off.

Also the OEM setting is set for bikes with fresh fluid, if you have no clue how old your fork/shock oil is, most likely the OEM setting will not work.

Not that I am an expert, just base on the info I came across.
