[QUOTE="c3hammer, post: 75211, member: 18554"] dperyman: When you remove all the preload the bike rides down in the steeper rate portion of the linkage "curve". This causes your bike to kick and buck you over the bars when hitting sharper objects like braking bumps, rocks, roots and such. It can be quite scarry. I can guarantee that you'll be unhappy with your suspension set up like that. You'd be much better off learning to deal with the higher seat/ride height that is appropriate for your weight (about 95 to 100mm of sag in the back with all your gear on). Like _solo_ said, read up on buying a real lowering kit for the rear linkage. I think RC is running about 1" less rear travel than anyone else out there. He can flat foot his KX250 and he's only about 5'3" tall. I saw it yesterday in person at the Salt Lake SX. Good luck with it. [/QUOTE]
