Ah! Like it says in the top level title. Sorry didn't see that accessing thread direct from 'Home' tab.
So, allowing for different bike weights, components and therefore settings, I assume these will be significantly different between V4 and Gen1.

i would imagine a fair amount of difference when you factor in:
Bike weight
Suspension geometry
Spring rates
Etc etc etc
Here's an easy method of measuring SAG, this example is for static SAG (no rider) for actual SAG (rider on) then do same measurements Adjusting the sag on your bike - Workshop - Visordown :thumbup

After thrashing about the back roads for the last week, and tweaking the settings from Alpha Suspension, I've settled on these
Front Spring preload 7 turns out from full stiff
Rebound damping 6 clicks out from full stiff
Compression damping 7 clicks out from full stiff
Fork ride height 2 lines showing above triple clamp
Rear Spring preload 10mm thread showing
Rebound damping 10 clicks out fron full stiff.
Compression damping 1.5 turns out from full stiff
This set up is excellent for me for back road blasting, it gives a static sag reading of 28mm Front and 16mm Rear, 90kg rider
