Go ahead!

Thanks

After much thought after riding again after 18 years off a bike, it seems to me there are 2 was of setting up your bike today. 1) The new way, people ride more forward with handlebars rotated forward, and to compensate for that, they are running more rear end sag (105mm or more), and more static sag (about 35mm). I don't like the way the front end feel in corners with the bars up that high so I went back to our old set up. 2) rotate the bars back down so the ends of the grips are pointing down a bit, (corners so much easier for me), and get the sag set between 95-100mm, with the static sag at about 20-25mm.) I see a lot of amateur kids with go-pros on the modern tall bikes with high bars, who can't corner worth a crap, and pretty much have to have a berm to turn at all. Even in the C class in the 80's, there would be a couple of slow guys, but I have never seen so many slow guys in the corners as I do today. Like everybody.

Thank you for this post, I just check my sag after the holidays and now that my bike has 35 hrs and my sag was 120 with 45 free sag. I'm now at 25 free sag with 105 107 race sag but after reading your comment and how I struggle with rutted turns I'm debating on running 95 sag

Could you do one on front spring pre load? KYB.

Yes

How about the front?

I understand that you guys are the suspension gurus... but what about free sag? This should of been discussed so that other people have an understanding of whether they have the correct spring rate for their weight.

True. It's a new generation. I can go through a MXA mag today with a red teacher pen when they write about anything technical, but the problems are in every industry today.

Is this asfalt only or would that completely change these settings?

RT'TECH' = MOHYK' - RKN'TN'-- Learned in! That mean: "You will be, damn destroyed!"

My sag is 55mm. I just ordered Race Tech 5.4kg shock spring. I weigh 155lbs. Am I going in the right direction? Should I get the gold valve also?

You should at least mention checking the static sag after doing the rider (dynamic) sag. Status is the sag from extended to compressed just by the weight of the bike, no rider. If your manual says the bike is equipped with a rear spring for say a 165 lb rider and that’s not you, then you go adjust your dynamic sag, then your setup may end up too far from acceptable, because you’re too light, or more likely too heavy, say 200lbs.

Put your richard on your bike

And my PHAMZ, and I, "Own KTM!" Cannot claim - any of thee - ABOVE! YZ= frame || HRC motor! They didn't mention - any YZ chas? Not even - them crazy AMA! AMA = "I attacked eu!"

Ok this still doesnt answer where your sag should be set at 😅
