Just got in from the garage. There was about 1/4" too much sag in the shock. It took 4 rounds on the preload collar to bring it to 120mm = +/- 4.75 inches. With this being a progressive spring it could make a really big difference. The stock spring was a straight-rate.
Between the sag and the unaligned forks, I'm expecting improvements when I ride this Sunday.
try to get the sag between 4 5/8" & 4 3/4". The less sag will transfer more weight to the front and give a better turn in on turns. I bet the front wheel felt like it was pushing through the turns on the last ride.
ReplyDeleteGilles was very specific about 120mm. I'll give it a try tomorrow and let you know.
