A 6.2Nm, really? What was stock, 5.4Nm?

If stock was 5.4Nm, you may need the shock revalved (rebound) for a 6.2, thats a huge jump.

105mm is too little sag. As Dave pointed out, and works very well, you want no more than 10mm preload on the shock spring (8mm is good). The race sag will be around 115mm+ but don't sweat that number as long as the bike steers good. Work with shock spring preload in half turn increments of the ring for best feel. Thats how you want to select your rear spring, so you need less than 10mm preload to get the bike to balance and feel good.

Yes, that is what I mean by a bleed hole.
