When you say the sag was too much, are you talking about static or dynamic sag? While you can correct the static sag with more preload you cannot correct the dynamic sag by adding more preload. Only changing the spring for a firmer one will solve a too low tail. One of the biggest misunderstandings in motorcycle history btw.

If the tail hangs low when riding you just need a firmer spring. Many riders prefer a slightly low tail as it helps in the very fast sections, especially on sand or tacky mud.

The running wide effect can have different reasons, so you wont get around of playing with clickers, tyre pressures and bar psoitions.

Let us know how things are going

So winding on more compression(preload) does nothing for rider sag?
