Hi All,
I setup my rear sag according to that formula L1-[(L2+L3)/2] and feels great but now my front suspension seems like its washing off from me. Any ideas??? Should I setup the front the same way I setup my rear?
Thanks
Mark

L1[(L2+L3)/2] http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/wtf.gif. Free sag should be about 5-8mm and rider sag roughly 28mm. I assume the formula is just the averaging for both free and rider.
The front should be about 10-12 mm free and 36-38 rider averaging both. Hopefully your stiction is 6mm or less.
As far as "washing off" goes. Have you changed your ride height? Raise the tubes 8-10mm showing past triples. You can also add some shim to the rear if you'd like. It could also be a tire issue or possible a damping problem. Really hard to tell with out having the bike at hand.
Good luck!

made some changes.. the formula is L1-[(L2+L3)/2]... I adjusted my front preloads and it works better now. i still gotta do some adjustments tho..
