Im light at 145 and i have the settings for preload at 4 front and 1 rear and i get 1 inch sage in front and im not sure the rear but its the lowest it can go so i have to live with it. Im just wondering the proper amount for the front, and rear. ill have someone what for the rear, i have zip ties on the front to see the sage.

There have been several very good threads recently. Use the search function, and you will find a wealth information.

Good luck!

Josh - try "sag" in the 1125R forum - I just got 16 hits.

Here's one of the better.

i looked over tons of the search results and none had what i was lookin for. i guess if i know the amount of fork tube and rear shock travel then i could put the suspenion into the center third of their total travel.

ive been meaning to call him, ill do that. thanks Doerman.

The specs page for the 1125R lists the suspension travel as follows:

Front Wheel 4.72 in. 120 mm
Rear Wheel 5.00 in. 127 mm

I know the XB racing spring kit gives a recommended sag range of:
front 34 mm to 38 mm front with the nominal being 35 mm
rear 28 mm to 32 mm with the nominal being 31 mm
Those are the recommended values with the rider on board.

These are the settings Sport Rider came up with, two out of the three test guys are light weights

Front:
Spring Preload: 12 Turns out from full stiff
Rebound: 3 Turns out from full stiff
Compression: 2 Turns out from
Set fork tubes flush with triple clamps

Rear:
Spring Preload: Position 5 from full soft
Rebound: 4 Turns out from full stiff
Compression: 20 Clicks from full stiff

YMMV.
