[QUOTE="Spokes574, post: 1345355, member: 22918"] Most bikes race sag is 100 or 105. I tend to always run 102mm on my Hondas 450. Tire pressure. Just about every magazine recommends 12psi for racing. Yes the manual says 15psi to protect the rims from getting a flat spot. I always run 12psi and never have an issue. On tracks that I am having traction issues I run as low as 10psi and it does help in traction. I only weigh 178lbs and have not had an issue. Heavier riders might have to stay with the 12-15psi range. I also check the tire pressure before and after motos becasue the pressure creeps up during a ride. Sag: sag at 105-108mm helps the back end feel a bit plusher on small edge bumps and braking bumps. the trade off is the wt on the front tire is less so can wash out on flat turns. I run 102mm to ensure I have enough wt on the front tire to grip on flat turns. Also note, the less sag also makes the front end a bit rougher also due to the extra wt on it. If you have a good fork it ok to run 100-102mm. Spokes572 California [/QUOTE]
