I have a 2005 V11 with the Ohlins suspension and I wish to play around with the damping to improve cornering on bumpy roads that I find is not as good as my other bike.  Firstly, does anyone know what the Ohlins fork model was (was it the FG43?) or if not, where I can get the right Ohlins technical manual on-line? (The link for this item in the V11 forum that gives links to the manuals (fork, rear and steering damper) does not now seem to work).  I do have the FG43 manual as a PDF file and when I replaced the oil, it looked to be the right one.  This says that the damping at the top of the forks has a total travel of 20 clicks but when I check my actual forks it is 32; hence my worry that i've not really identified the right Ohlins manual for them.  It does not say in the Moto Guzzi manual what the model the forks are, only that both compression and rebound are set 13 clicks away from fully (clockwise) closed.  Also, if the forks are FG43, then the Ohlins manual says rebound is adjusted at the top of the fork and compression at the bottom but my MG owners manual says exactly the opposite.  Which is right?
