Clymer manual question

[motorox]

the manual said my rear spring min/max preload range for adjustments should be measured from the the top of the mount to the top of the adjuster on the shock. Is this the min/max range of adjusting I can do on the stock spring itself...

they never mention race/static sag specs. I weigh a bit too much for my bike and have wondered just how far down I can push the spring to get an acceptable sag

are these specs in the manual referring to the range that you can adjust the spring?

boy... I, uh hey Woody_CRF!

I'm not sure what the clymers is talking about?

If you are wondering if you can adjust your pre-load so you can set you sag, I would say yes. Chances are pretty good though, depending on what you weigh that you will have better luck with stiffer springs.

As far as adjusting it, just do it.

I thought it was weird too. Just thought i'd ask in case I was missing some detail thing. I tend to skim over the directions and I'm finding out that these bikes aren't like cars. they are a little more precise

Yeah, never hurts to ask, that's for sure.
