Chassis set up ....
 
11 250 6day

well know that I have the jetting figured out ...
I need something else to mess with.
Right now I'm running about 5 1/4 inches of rear sag and my forks are flush with the top clamp. Sometimes the bike seems a little pushy. Of course that could be related to the suspension too ... but ....if you were going to mess with your turn in would you drop the front end say 3mm or to the stock 5mm and leave the back end along or would you leave the front alone and drop the rear sag to say 5 or 4 3/4 inches

5 1/4 inches. That's way too much.
Should be 4".

That's why it's pushing in the turns. The bike is riding like a chopper, with the forks raked out.

skid,

What springs are you running for your weight? You should spring the bike so that you can get reasonable sag without having to jack the preload way up. Did you drop the preload in an attempt to get a better ride over trail trash (you can within limits )? If the spring is too soft you will be way to high on sag. You can go over 100, the bike should still turn well even 110+ if the fork is right, thats how mine is setup. If the fork rebound is too loose it will stand up and push and compound the problem.

I know your terrain. You want the springs stiff enough so that you can run little preload, and the fork needs the rebound fixed.
