[QUOTE="dcwilson, post: 889084, member: 29101"] If you are going to stick with the stock rear spring, set the sag as close as you can, I doubt you will get it right on 4" and still have an inch of free sag, so you are going to be a little low in the back. To compensate for that you will need to lower the front by raising the forks in the clamps. I just barely got the sag close at 190lbs. Also the rebound on the forks is too fast stock, these two things combined make it hard to turn, ie front end washing out. Slowing down the rebound (more rebound dampening) helps keep the front from washing out. But get the sag right first. My final settings are 6 out on the compression (I might go even more), 2 in on the rebound (from stock settings), forks raised about 5mm, shock is good stock. My 01 CR handled great, but the YZ can be tuned to match. Save your five hunny. [/QUOTE]
