[QUOTE="yota, post: 217431, member: 25192"] sounds like you are confusing front and rear. sag is measured in the rear. 30mm is way too much to raise your forks in the triple clamps in my opinion. you are way upsetting the balance of the bike. I am also 5' 8" tall. I wouldn't go more than 5 to 8 mm. set your rear sag to spec sitting on the bike in attack position with all your gear on. Get someone to help if you can. measure from the rear axle to the seat bolt or other point which is easy to line a tape measure up on. measure first with the bike on a stand and no one on the bike and write down the number. take the bike off the stand and sit on the bike in your gear, bounce up and down a few times and adjust the shock spring preload until you are at spec. get off the bike, leave it off the stand and bounce the seat up and down. measure the sag now without rider, this is static sag. if you have too much the spring is too soft for your weight, if you don't have enough the spring is too heavy. if you are in spec the spring is just right. with the conventional forks on your bike, if you want more preload, you have to cut and install pvc spacers on top of the springs. you can only tell by feel, to my knowledge there is no spec for front sag or preload.
