not to be rude, but what you have to do to your suspension to make that bike perform well is worlds apart from how one might set up say, a Sunday, a V10, or a DHR.Here's a photo of my bike the way I used to have it specd with the rear end compressed fully. This is also the way the bike used to look when I landed on a tranny then reached the bottom and g-d out. Check out the forks...they look like a chopper! 9.5" of rear travel is too much to use in that type of situation but is exactly what running too little LSC caused. If the bike were to hit another sharp bump right then it would likely buck me or damage my rim as something has to give.
this thread makes me laugh. . . all this talk about damping and most people still can't get their spring rate correctoster_oops:
