So I will start by saying that I followed the Manual as far as the reccomended specs for the front and rear suspension.
After riding for about 1500 miles on those specs it just didnt feel right in the corners or just riding in general. So I went and met with a friend of mine that have lots of suspension setup experience and what we found was interesting.
With the front Preload set to factory spec it was at 7 turns in from minimum, leaving me with almost ZERO sag for my weight 205lbs. We ended up determining that the fron preload needed to be at ONLY 2 turns in from minimum to reach what is considered normal sag.
My Rebound was set to 1 turn out from max
My Compression was set to 1.5 turns out from max
The rear is fine with the reccomended spec of preload however, the Rebound was moved to 1.25 out from max and compression was set to 1.5 out from max
My question is this.. Does anyone else have a similar setup for the front specs considering my weight of 205lbs?
Is something wrong for my preload to be set so lite?
Any advice would be grateful
