Folks,
Attended a discussion with Terry Hayes of Shock treatment last weekend.
Terry's advice about preload and sag;
Set rear sag first with "race Sag" (with rider in normal riding position) to 30-35mm. His view is that this is the most critical set-up because it sets the angle of the swingarm and therefore overall handling characteristics.
Front Sag; no recommended mm. His view is ride the bike and set it to give the amount of front end dive/movement that you are comfortable under brakes/turning. His view is that the friction/stiction on the forks is such that to get an accurate reading is almost impossible so doing it by "feel" is as good.
Cheers
