    At the 1.38 mark I should have said that there will be "more" Static sag with the lighter rider. Sorry...my mistake. It gets sorted out later in the video.

    Terry, you continue to deliver more Science with each video, I never factored in chain adjustments affecting the sag, thank you !!

    Thanks Terry. Great vid. I got my YZ125’s suspension totally rebuilt by you guys last year as well as my CBR600RR ten years ago. I still remember coming to one of the races at Eastern Creek helping you and Grant one Sunday. Great learning experience

    Terry! Been watching your videos in America. Thank you!

    Great explanation on the relationship between Spring rate and setting sag. I now understand that just dialling up preload on a soft Spring may not be the answer. Looks like a visit to Shock Treatment for my F800GS.

    Amazing info. I have seen a lot of these and this is a masterclass. Going to watch part 3 now - I ride tarmac Supermoto so I'm looking for some insight there as sag figures will be different again 😊 Thanks 👍

    Can you please make a video about the front sag (or not) with regards to off-road bikes? The one for road bikes made a lot of sense, but I wish you had a video for off-road bikes as well. Thanks!

    Do you take measurements with 1/2 tank of fuel to average out the bike's weight?

    Nice. Do the same percentages apply to ADV bikes?

    Guys, thanks for the video, it's very useful! But I wanted to deduce the determination for the word sag. is it possible to call a sag a range? Sag as a manufacturer's recommended suspension compression range? A static sag is from 30mm to 40 but its a range, it is a recommended range and for a rider sag also is a recommended range. So is the sag a range first of all?

    Do you record the preferred sag setting for future use or do you repeat the process?

  • @thetruthserum2816

    Can you talk about Titanium springs? Progressive springs? Viscosity of damper fluids? Any telemetry used to measure swing arm and fork throw with position sensors + G's sensors to measure what the rider feels subjectively to dial a tune? I notice the Honda race bike has a ton of data ports...

  • @enduro-parts-aus

    Do you worry about fork sag to confirm correct preload ?

  • @chrjamrho

    should i assume this is all being done at the factory rebound/compression setting?

    Great videos. You say you're adjusting the preload each time with the t bar. Does the Husky have a quick adjustment compared to the YZ450F and the 2 x nuts? Or are you adjusting the compression or rebound?
