Hey guys, i've done numerous searches for quite a while, here and other sites, and most places that i've come across show the process of setting up the suspension and how to.

But what i dont know is, what does sag/rebound/preload, etc etc do for the ride itself? I finally got some settings to use for my weight, and there's a big difference in the ride while in the canyons (in a positive way). But i know i can set up the bike to make it bettter.

So my question is, how exactly do the different settings affect the ride? Examples? Thanks guys, im trying to get the most out of my bike before i decide to throw on performance mods, and i know it will be a while, but i want to get the settings down before i hit up a track day.

you need to do a search in the club racer forum for "the suspension article" as it explains all of that.
