[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1314364, member: 18388"] We did some sag measurements recently, which led me to the same thing (even with the new and improved fork springs over Gen1 & 2 - 0.85) . Cranked down the preload all the way, and it's a definite improvement. What we've done is partially compensated for the progressive part of the spring. The FSM says the stock springs are 0.85 kgf/mm 0-67.5mm and 1.02 kgf/mm 67.5-135mm, which I interpret as soft for the first bit and why they feel like they need more preload for the heavier riders. ES has the same springs but there are no adjusters, so the only option is to use washers/longer spacers if one wants to keep the same springs. [/QUOTE]
