OK..it's my wife's bike. It's a TTR-225. Not a trail burner by any means, but it's a good size for her. She's a beginner and I don;t think I want to dump much moeny into this bike for springs or professional suspension work.
That said, I tried to set the rear race sag. I backed off the preload as much as I could, and it still only sags about 75mm. I believe the ideal range is 95 - 110 or something like that.
She likes the bike better than before. I suspect this is because she can reach the ground easier.
My question is this. Does the fact that I cannot correctly set race sag indicate that the spring is too stiff for her weight?
If I just leave the rear sag where it is at, should I adjust the front sag so that it is a less than the dieal range as well?
Thanks,
Mag
