Default birds of a feather...

i've got the 5.2 on my bike, and am also about 185 pounds without moto gear on. i guess my moto gear adds about 10 pounds over regular civvy clothes. when i got the bike i added a little preload to get the sag up there, but hadn't measured it with the spring uncompressed, or taken any measurement of spring set before i adjusted it. currently, i am at:

250mm spring length
30mm static sag
105mm rider sag (in moto gear)

i didn't break out the calipers, but it does look like you'd get about 3mm or so with each complete turn of the preload ring.
