Author Message   Ratgin Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - 01:03 pm:        Was talking to another 1125R owner and she was commenting about my sky high seat height. Only thing i can thing of is shes obviously less then 1/2 my size and weight. Her seat height is the factory touted 31 inches, I have mine set up at max setting as i top 300lbs with gear, But does that adjustment equal my seat height being 35 inches?   Bueller4ever Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - 01:43 pm:        If you have your preload set at max, then your seat height will be higher. You probably have no free sag. Have you measured sag?   Ratgin Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - 04:18 pm:        I have not. I just send them my weight in gear and they set up suspension to factory specs. Never noticed it was that high until i parked beside another one. Theres only 3 in city   Poppinsexz Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - 06:11 pm:        I believe that if properly set up the bike should squat down 1 inch when the rider is on it. You being heavier than her will have to have more spring tension to retain the proper squat.
