Have anyone tested what might be a good setting for the suspension settings for lightweight riders on an 2015 SR?
I'm only 66kg, while the bike should be adjusted for 82 kg by default.
Without much experience (this being my first bike*) i believe my suspension should be smoother, so i today i tried softening 1 step (on all compression+rebound) which didn't seem to make much difference. I also noticed that the "M1"** value on the front (didn't check the rear today) was 152mm while the manual says it should be 105mm (!). I wonder how this may have passed factory tests- is this a common value being almost 50% off spec? I also wonder how it could get this much off, or if having it at this height may be dangerous (i have not touched the preload myself yet). Now the bike was a demo bike before i got it, so it could be adjusted for some tall person (i'm only moderately tall 181 cm/ but i have long legs, so the height is not an issue to me).
* my only comparison would be the mc-school bike that i used during training for my license..
** M1 refers to the bottom of the fork tube to the bottom of the tube's dust seal in the 2015 SR manual page 4.17.
The sag itself was probably less than 20mm (while it should be 45) so i am pondering on adjusting the spring preload, the compression and rebound dampening. The question is whether my measurment may be wrong? It seems pretty straight forward, however i do not wan't to mess things up and it is the first time i try..
In general, how much adjustment may be required to achieve something near specc, and how will this influence the behavior of the bike...
