[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1172947, member: 3828"] Reformatted the above... now here are your loaded sags (only ones that really matter): Front Rear 48 38 If these were correctly obtained then you are a bit soft in the front and a bit harder in the back. You ideally want to be sitting at 1/3rd of the suspension's stroke with loaded sag for street riding. Sport riders typically go a bit stiffer, more like 1/4 of total travel Front sag is easy to measure along the fork. How did you measure the rear? At the axle to some body part above it? Front wheel travel is 135mm and rear is 125mm. Optimum loaded sag for the street would be 45 Front and 41 rear. Not all that far off from what you are at. Maybe it's just because you are so light. As an idea, you may want to leave the rear on soft and increase the front preload top try and get the two ends in sync more... [/QUOTE]
