Re: Handling/cornering

[Erik Miner <axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would suggest that everyone actually MEASURE the suspension sag ( 
preload) on their bikes. Use the Racetech method. You might be very 
surprised what you find. Just going by the manual or guessing is a 
shot in the dark. Remember the factory settings are for a rider of 
unknown weight. I have a copy of the Racetech procedure if anyone 
needs it.

PS: Anyone in the NJ area wants to do a tech night and setup 
suspensions I'll volunteer my garage and tools.
