Too soft....and....too hard................You want something in between.

Are we talking front or rear?...preload?...it depends on how heavy you are..your type of roads and the type of riding you do.

I think most of us have the adjusting screw turned fully in and then backed off about two turns...and I have my preload adjuster on the rear close to fully stiff/hard....that's how I like it....it would be a bit too stiff for most.

Common around here is the DJ solution as well. Crank it all up hard and then back it off a couple of turns. Seems to work with the R's stock suspension on our rough roads.

I read some place that you should have an inch of travel when your seat onthe bike...... and take from there..... Is this a good idea?

[DJ Downunder]

That would be one inch of sag...sounds about right.

Mxer's have about 4" of sag...but then they have about 12" total..
