    I was wondering what static sag should be set at or what is working good for you with the sachs shock? I have been really fighting my bike in high speed turns and just trying to figure things out with it thanks.

    The rear has 305mm of travel. You want 33mm static sag (+-2mm) and 104mm rider sag. Front forks have 300mm travel. Static sag of 42mm and rider sag of 75mm.

    Thanks for the replies. My static sag is good but then my rider sag is like 4 3/8. Going to order a new spring and hopefully get it worked out.

    I can tell you what works for me. right or wrong (probably wrong) I am 200lbs in skivvys. I first put on a 5.8 spring and the sag #'s came in about right. I set at 105 in street clothes. Then at 100 and I always fought with loosing the front end. So I jumped up to a 6.2 and WOW what a difference in handling. I had the shock serviced and with the 6.2 it works pretty well, but I still am having a problem with it bottoming in the g-outs. It goes through the whoops and jumps fine just the g-out bottom severely (low speed all the way in and the rebound 3 clicks out) I know it is has a lot to do with where I ride which, mostly fast two track. So my next step is Zip-Ty. Anyway, that's my story.
