Title: Help adjusting rear shock race sag and all that good stuff Post by: svtbolt04 on January 23, 2007, 08:42:22 PM I just got my shock back from GT Thunder (right now it feels great) and I raised the rear up about 3 inches because I was botteming enough before, but now when I take a corner, the bike feels very top heavy and then under quick acceleration, it pulls wheelies to the sky. Over the whoops or any bumps, I love it. Complete awesomeness.... I cant even explain, maybe because I was riding on a blown shock for almost 3 months.. ( ??? ) But now all is good except the rear feeling the bike top heavy..
Anyone have mesurements for a XC bike and what it should be sitting at with the rider on it. I read 10 for XC, but it would look like a raked up GTO or somthing.

(full extent of travel and then you on quad with gear) If the sag is correct use compression to control bottoming out.

It feels very tippy. Title: Re: Help adjusting rear shock race sag and all that good stuff Post by: TRX450R_Racer on January 23, 2007, 10:07:32 PM You have a YFZ?
