[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1265461, member: 18388"] I've had a lot of FJR forks apart, so lemme try again...... If you back the preload adjuster right off, remove cartridge assembly from the fork, measure overall length to a reference point on the fork cap itself, say the top. Screw in the preload adjuster...... the spring will be compressed shorter the more you turn it in. That's preload. Sag is when you put the fork back together, and add weight (of the bike and rider) and the spring compresses even more. Adjusting preload will alter the sag. [/QUOTE]
