    HELP PLEASE, static and rider sag

    Decided I should set my static sag and rider sag on my Berg 390 Peeps on here suggest 35mm rider sag and 105mm rider sag. I've took the shock off to alter the preload on the spring, managed to get 106mm rider sag, but my static sag is 27mm. To achieve my rider sag I'm losing my static. It's a...

    Setting sag / spring recommendation

    On a 2010 FE450 - I had my rear shock and front forks lowered 1.5 inches. I'm vertically challenged witrh a 30 inch inseam and in very tight technical terrain the stock bike was way too tall! The rear shock was re-valved when the lowering was done, but they asked me to try using the stock...

    Setting Sag - progressive spring

    With a progressive spring, do you set sag the same as always? Sag is sag, right? Just got my suspension back and had to put in a lot of preload to get the race sag right; now bike sag is 1/2 inch. That means the spring is too soft. But, when setting sag, I'm in the soft part, so that makes...

    Hey Just got a FE450 11 and got some slight upgrade in springs .52 front and the psd30 on the rear. I think the sag is around 105 - 115mm on rear (cant remember which one). Now, I have heard that having a progressive spring on the rear means you cant actually get the sag to be correct...

    Im after a bit of advice on sag settings for my 03 FS650e. I hadnt touched the suspension since i bought it, and it has always suffered from a bit of headshake at around 80 ish, but since fitting new tyres it has got rediculous, i had a big moment last night which made me think i should do...

    Race Sag

    I reset my race sag recently on both my bikes. It seems that both of them had settled from 105mm to become 115mm. I had installed stiffer springs on both of them and my guess is 8 months or so has gone by. I set the Berg again, this time at around 100. I think it should stay for a while now. I...

    Setting Sag, absolutely the best thing you can do!

    Well, Yesterday, I got my head into shape and decided to set the sag settings on my FE550e '05. It took about 4 Hours tops from reading all the relevant looking forum posts here on UHE, and going over the manual, and some testing. I am BLOWN AWAY at the difference that such a small...

    Fork sag 06 450

    I was doing a basic setup check and found my forks to have 38mm of static sag, the wp book says the sag should be between 25-40mm. I like to run around 25-30mm,(to keep the fork in the plushness of the stroke) but I can't shim the springs enough to get that, and I really don't want to put 4.6...

    sag - are you getting it right?

    it appears that there was so much confusion over the rear shock sag on the '03-'05 KTMs that the factory did a dealer bulletin to explain. simplified: it turns out that 115mm was the correct sag. considerably more than huseys run i believe. what is the quoted sag for the huseys around...
