[QUOTE="'00kx250spode, post: 189760, member: 20287"] I replaced all of the bearings, sleeves etc on my bike. I also replaced the shock spring from a 5.0 to a 5.2 to see if that might give me some better bottoming resistance. I wasn't able to get the sag past 70mm. So I put the old 5.0 back on and I can't get the sag past 70mm with that one either. When I push down on the seat I can see the rocker arm rotating at all 3 ends and the swingarm rotating where it connects to the frame. The only part that isn't moving is where the linkage rods connect to the swingarm. So I disconnected the rods from the swingarm and was able to rotate the bearings. I inserted the sleeve and was able to rotate the sleeve. I'm measuring the sag by first balancing the bike without a stand or rider and measuring from a point on the swingarm above the axle to a point on the fender directly above. Then I get on the bike standing on the pegs and have my friend measure between the same points again. I subtract the two to get the sag. When I loosen the preload on the spring by spinning the nut up, it doesn't seem to make a difference. Where did I go wrong?! :think [/QUOTE]
