    Ok, I just got an 08 left over and I am loving this bike. My problem is that I feel as if the suspension is not working properly. I weight 240lbs so I would like a lil more feed back. Any tips on setting the sag would be helpful.

    For your weight you need to ial it all down on a stock set up.

    #1. crank the forks pre lod all the way down. Most likely you will not have a spanner that will fit your rear shock. Look on ebay.

    Unless you mostly commute, the front will make a good change but take it from another big guy. Get a suspension made for you.


    You will want a decent setup at some point.


    Im 260. Call EPM suspension. Ypu can get a nice setup for under $800

    YSS, WILBERS, HYPERPRO. Inexpensive. I thinkthe guys name is Hans
