    Hello.

    Tomorrows job is setting the sag on my suspension before i start the finer tweaking (or i give up and go to Steve Jordans)!
    Ive got an RR6 and I've looked at lots of vids and posts and gone into information overload :/
    What does anyone, for once and for all, recommend i set my sag at please ??

    Cheers G

    Thank you lambchops. I have been browsing that and it is really good.

    Hello mate.
    Ive just got in from tinkering and seen your set up and mines worked out so different !
    I went with this page Motorcycle Suspension Setup ! Ive done everything as they said and they recommend: Rear Rider 30-40mm and static 5-10mm. Front rider 35-48 rider, and 25-30mm static ! I got mine to rear rider 36mm and static 6mm and front 48mm rider and 29mm static ! Had to preload rear shock to 10, the max setting and 1 turn of preload on the front :/ ! Haven't done anything with compression and rebound yet but it seemed to ride so much better !

    Its all voodoo ya know !!

    Yep sag is the easy bit.

    It's the compression/rebound rates that you need a bit of experience to get right.
