Who shouted out LINEARS  :'(
Should have gone to specsavers

You may have been right, confusious says with [size=1.35em]old age [/size]comes great wisdom    trouble was I needed to go 2 up / long distance and was told by mechanic that progressives were better option for that, now renamed the bike The Axe Murderer as it wants to kill me at every corner. :whip  I hope mechanic has focced up fitting then I can get it sorted, other than that more £££ to go linear route instead.

[size=1em]Graham getting the sag right is really important for the handling. RED = FRONT,  Purple =REAR


My Front Static Sag (Just the weight of the bike on the suspension) is: 25 mm.


My Rear Static Sag  (Just the weight of the bike on the suspension) is: 16 mm.

My Front 'Rider Sag' me with all my riding gear on inc helmet on sat on the bike feet on the pegs with someone holding the bike upright without applying any weight or lifting in any way is: 41 mm.

My Rear 'Rider Sag' me with all my riding gear on inc helmet on, sat on the bike feet on the pegs with someone holding the bike upright, without applying any weight or lifting in any way is: 37 mm.

With the hardware setup on my bike, for the track recommended is 30-34 mm Front Rider Sag and the same for theRear. So as you can see my Sag is a little softer than recommended for the track, but, it is on the firmer end of the spectrum for road use, was brilliant with 8 1/2 stone daughter on the back.Be worth getting a couple of mate around to help you set it up as you need a strong pair of hands to hold the bike upright and another pair of hands to do the measuring whilst your sat on the bike.Good luck you should be able to sort it out I have heard of lots of guys on here fitting the progressives and being very pleased with the result, but it will always be a bit of a compromise as one spring fits all riders weights, linears you buy a spring to suit your rider weight all togged up ready to ride.I am just under 90 kilos fully togged and I bought Ohlins 8.5 N/mm Linear Springs. I had a lot of academic help from Kebab19, he is the Bogs Dollocks when it come to front forks, he was also very helpful with advice in the setting up of cartridge emulators.    [/size]
