I have no idea what the pre-load setting is for my Uly's rear shock at the moment. I turned it up slightly for when 2-up and loaded recently, but I was worried to turn it too far as I've not idea if it maxes out and stops, or I could turn it forever and do some damage.

So, the manual implies a range of 0 to 20 "turns" - does it stop at either end? Can I turn it all down to zero and expect the dial to stop?

Just thought I'd check before I do something stupid : )

Yes. It stops turning on both ends. You should back it out to zero and set it up according to the manual and adjust from there. Good luck getting 20 turns. My max is like 16.

Does anyone have any figures for static sag on the Uly. I general ran around 30mm on my sportbikes and 105 to 110mm on my offroad or dualsports for a starting point at least. Has anyone taken the time to measure sag on the Uly once the suspension has been set to the factory recommendations.

Jmhinkle: Many thanks - I'll do just that now.
