These are the generic instructions for installing standard RaceTech Gold Valves for rebound.

Using the online valving tool, the recommended valve stack for a 5th gen VFR with 80kg rider who preferred a soft set up is RH16 (5 x 0.15 x 17mm shims).

I also did the same for a VTR1000F as I use that bike's rebound adjusters (I added 15kg to selected rider weight to offset the lighter bike in the calculation) and this recommended the RH17 shim stack (6 x 0.15 x 17mm shims) and 2 turns out for the rebound adjuster.

Other RaceTech literature that I have suggests that for each 13.6kg or rider weight one would shift to the left or right of the recommended shim stack, so if you weigh 93.6kg, the VFR recommendation would be RH17 also.

Both options recommended 0.92-0.93 kg/mm springs with 15mm of preload.

Fork oil height recommended was different for the VFR (120mm) and VTR (140mm) presumably due to the greater volume of the fork cap mechanism on the VTR which would reduce the available air-gap.
