Adjusting rear spring preload
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

i know on my sportbike i harden (increase) the preload all around...

now for the dirtbike... im a tall guy so i can make the rear sag a lot

im 6 1 200 lbs

so do i want to decrease preload to make up for my weight compressing the spring or do i want to increase the preload to handle my weight?

Increase preload so when you sit on the bike you have 100mm of sag compared to when its on a stand.
