Set the suspension up first, recruit a mate to help you check rear sag, use a cable tie on the forks to check front sag.

I've put cable ties on the front, I'll thin of something for the rear. What sort of sag should I be looking for?

I meant 35 total at the back. So probably 15 static and 20 rider.

i know this is going to sound like sacrolidge for the falco, but have you thought about a comfort bar kit for it?
or have you tried a pointy with said kit or just higher bars? i really cant ride a pointy without the bars being higher as it tires me out really quick and i find its much better sitting more upright. |

What I did was the cheap varsion and I've put the clip ons over the top yoke. It did help, but hasn't solved the problem. I'll have a fiddle with the suspension, check what rate spring the Ohlins has on. What sort of sag/trave should I be looking for at the forks? |
