@cptmorgans you are correct in your recollections. Yes I ran 20m of sag on the 06/7 Daytona 675 stock shock spring for aggressive stop start tracks and 25mm of sag for flat track where suspension changes and g-loads evolve rather than occur. At that time I was 220bs in gear. I changed the stock spring out for a linear 575lb spring which made a world of difference before the Elka shock was installed. Dave Moss Host
Great video as always Dave. I run a '06 Daytona 675, stock progressive spring with track sag set around 30mm. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that when you raced one you ran very little sag, increasing preload so much that you almost removed the progressive nature of the spring??? (I may be talking complete rubbish here).
I don't know but from mine experience with progressive springs I come to a conclusion I am way better off with no sag at all allowing progressive spring do their job. When I set sag like with linear springs bike was very harsh and bouncy.
I'm happy to read that you are trying different things and finding what works for you. Not enough people are willing to roll their sleeves up and get to work. Thanks for sharing!
hey there, I dont seem to be able to make a comment on your website so I am hoping you will see it here. What do you recommend, I currently have a linear spring rate of 25nm on an ohlins shock. I am not a big guy and with zero preload I have 12mm of free sag and 12mm of rider sag putting me right at 24-25mm with me sitting on the bike. they do not offer a softer linear spring so should I switch to a progressive for more option in my sag numbers?? are the sag numbers good enough? this is on a Harley-Davidson FXR, I will be taking it to the track, lots of canyon riding, and also ride it around town. I know I should just schedule a remote tuning with you! haha! thanks!
