XR Suspension

[Sage]

Hi All

Anybody know any good web sites for suspension set up on a XR 600, want to set it up right for body weight etc.

what do you mean by set up mate?

Just setting sag with preload, and adjusting the low speed damping (clickers)?

Or are you talking respringing / revalving etc?

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

Just setting sag with preload, and adjusting the low speed damping (clickers)? to start with, just to see if I can improve things a little, I have seen on the net that it should be around 95-100mm for the rear, is it the same for the front suspension etc.

If it was need might look at revalving etc.

Thanks Andrew

yea about 30-33% of the total travel on the rear should be how much it sags with you sitting on it.

On the front ive read that 22-25% sag is ideal but changing that involves taking the forks apart and cutting preload spacers out of some plastic tubing.

You can use the racetec calculator to see what springs you should be using if you go down thnat route;

Click you bike, then click fork and shock spring rate calculator.

Hi.

Thanks for that, I will get my tape measure out and have a look.

dont forget its 30-33% of travel from when its TOPPED OUT not just from when your not sitting on it =)
