[QUOTE="pro-design, post: 219609, member: 25576"] I also agree with raising your front end back to 8mm. However this will not I repeat will not effect you sag. Read your Honda manual that came with the bike it tells you step by step how to set sag. If you don't have it I'll give it a shot for you. STEP 1 put the bike on a race stand take a measurement from your seat bolt to the center of the rear axle. Write down that number. STEP 2 take the bike off the stand and sit on it with your gear on. Have a buddy or a wife or kid measure the distance from the same points you did in step 1. Write down that number , then subtract the figure in step 2 form step 1's figure. The answer will be your race sag. The figure you get should be 95 to 100 mm's depending on what kind of riding you do. NEXT issue free sag , free sag is relative to race sag you do not adjust for it. Free sag is measured by taking your bike off the stand and letting it stand on its own (without you on it). Measure the again from the same place as before . Once again write down your findings. Now take your free sag # and subtract from your Static sag number from step 1. This is your static sag . Your Honda manual recommends between 20 to 25 mm's of static sag. If your figure is way high or way low from what Honda wants and your race sag is around 100 mm. you need to buy a new spring. [/QUOTE]
