Hello all again!
I think I get around an engine quite decently but suspension....damn, I don't understand how this thingies work....:unsure:
So here's my problem, after servicing the forks I'm now trying to set it up according to my riding stile and wishes so after hours of tinkering this is what I have:
1. Forks
Rebound: 13 clicks back from full right
Compression: 15 clicks from full right
Preload: 1.5 turns back from full right
Static sag: 26 mm
Dinamic (rider) sag: 67 mm
The video clip you guys recently posted says to set up rebound and compression clickers as above, I'm gonna try that just to see how it feels.
Various other materials say that static sag should be in between 20-35mm and that dinamic sag should be around 70 mm. I measured the above sag's without my full gear on so I kinda think that I'm in the "ball park" and should be ok.
If you see something unusual on my forks setup please let me know. I'm kinda worried that the springs are quite preloaded...only 1.5 turns from full preload.....
2. Shock absorber
Rebound: 25 clicks from full right
Compression (slow): 15 clicks from full right
Compression (fast): 2 turns from full right
Preload: 8 mm (8 mm in from where the spring has no preload)
Static sag: 40 mm
Dinamic sag: 109 mm
Obviously, the back is not right.
Static should be around 25 mm and dinamic should be between 90 and 105 mm. If I increase preload to 12 mm (manual says that max preload is 10mm) I get a static sag around 47 mm and dinamic sag around 103 mm.
What to do? Please help because this makes me a little mad....
Thanks and cheers!
