[QUOTE="Yoken, post: 986455, member: 25312"] 5ft11 (1m80) - 205lbs (93kg) with gear - Turning 36 next week. B rider when the gate drops... C after 3 laps... and S (Soar) the next day... that fork is killing me! Rear sag was set at 100mm. I haven't checked the front end though but the bike felt well balanced in stock form. Fork oil level was stock too (but not measured). The bike felt great the first time I took it out. It was on a smooth hardpacked amateur supercross-type track. Then my joy disappeared when I hit a fast MX track... The stock springs should be about right for me. However, somebody mentioned that the fork spring pre-load was a bit on the high side and that he had positive results when backing it off 3 to 5mm. I'd like to check that out. I've always liked to have "stiff" springs with low pre-load on my previous bikes. Thanks for your input, Yoken [/QUOTE]
