riding sag question
i have the 2012 300 racing, ohlins rear shock, riding sag 100mm my question is how many turns off the top collar will it take to bring it to 115 and will this give me a plusher suspension travel?

In theory, 1 turn is "supposed" to be 2.5 to 3mm. In actual practice I find that to vary. Just turn it 5 times and re measure.
As far as making it plusher, not really. All you are doing with sag is setting the amount of weight bias placed on the front wheel. Less sag, like 100mm, puts more weight on the front wheel than 115mm. 115mm is a lot of sag. Most riders will be happy around 105-109mm. Try 105mm first. |
More sag also puts you farther down into the stroke, so you're nearer to the ramp up in effective rate. The 2012/13 chassis likes less sag than the earlier bikes which were happy up to about 115. I'd go with Bandit's recommendation of 105mm.

Ahuh, ideally you want the spring that will let you run minima preload to achieve the 100-110mm race sag with somewhere between 30-40mm free sag.
