08 XB12X Suspension Setting

[kennywiz]

Hello,

I have a question about the recommended settings in the manual for an 08 XB12X.

Per the manual, the max preload for the front is 4 turns. However, I can turn more.
Is this adding more preload?
Am I damaging anything?

Also, what is everyone's sag for an X? I'm sitting at 50mm.

Thanks

I'd say that's a little light. You're generically looking for ~1"-1.25" (25-30mm) on the street, & 0.75"-1" on the track. I believe the manual also speaks to sag but I don't have a copy handy.

Being on a Uly however, your preference may be for a little less pre-load(?).

Dial-in your final settings through trial, error, & keeping notes.

Given the extended travel of a Uly X, I doubt 30mm is a viable option.


Really interested in this:
