    G'day.
    What sag, front and rear have you guys ended up with? I've been playing around but can't find a setting that I find comfortable.
    I have the Sacks on the rear that have been added with a spring to my weight and a fork with smrr internals. I know I may be the only one with this setup but any help is appreciated.

    Revalved forks, Ohlins rear 5.4 spring 80-85mm rear sag. Remember sag can change 4mm from a full tank to empty. This is road setup I usually cbf changing at the track.

    I talked to one of the fastest A Graders over here in WA (also races in Europe) and he runs 16-18mm static and 70mm race.

    Make sure your tank is as full as it would be for racing and your best bet is to stand on your pegs straight up n down to measure race sag.

    I ran this setting today and it feels good but it was pissing rain so I couldn't get a good read on it.

    I've heard from Motosupplies in UK (they have been running the 449 in UK and World Series) that the front should be hard and the rear soft.
    So I presume that what ever other people has on there bikes may not count on ours!

    When I went up a few spring rates in the rear or got the wobbles, better now I went back.
