I measured my sag(s) with the following -- street clothes, empty tank, with a 25-pound weight in my backpack. I weigh about 190 in street clothes.
Shock measurement:
Free sag (settling under its own weight for those not in the know): 36mm
Race sag = 108mm
Fork measurement:
Race sag = 43mm
While the free sag of 36mm might be a bit high, I'm of the mind to leave things alone for the time being, and go hammer some test whoops this weekend to see how it behaves.

I tried out this method. I split the difference and set it at 11mm. 18 COMP, 20 REB. I didn't check the hi spd. Being a brand new bike, I didn't measure the sag. I figured I would let the suspension break in, then take measurements.
