Sag matters!!!!

Wow, I thought my sag numbers where correct and set at 100/102, boy was I wrong! I did the old set mark and measure with a stick/yard stick. I don't know what happened. I received my Motool digital sag scale and found my sag at 88. Wah Whaaaat? So now that I have set the sag to 102, I have now experienced the full if not fuller potential of my Gassers handling...........WOW! I now know what you guys are talking about when you say it corners like its on rails. Cause it really does. I have ridden it on 3 different occasions since the sag was corrected, just to make sure it wasn't one of those fluk days where everything aligns perfect and your riding is dead on.

Mine is a 2012. It handled well before, but it feels like a completely different bike now.

Get this, my riding buddy never messes with anything on his bikes. He buys them and just gets on and rides. I measured his 2013 KX450f, it was at 56. His bike is stored in my garage so I set his also and he noticed a BIG difference. I didn't say anything to him at first and he kept commenting during our ride how well he felt riding and how good his bike felt. I broke the news to him after we were done.

Is the tool being used on all your buddies bikes ? Or are you holding back so you can rail on them ?

I set my sag and it handled well. After several month it started handling weird. I didn't trust it anymore. I took the shock off thinking it needed some R&R. My tuner told me my spring retaining ring was completely loose. He changed the oil and set the sag. All better.
