    Race sag is rider on. A third of your travel is a good base for this, so the DR has 250mm travel, 80mm sag is good. Around the 20-25mm static sag is normal for a dirtbike.

    For adventurey type stuff, around 15% static and 30% race sag is ballpark.
    From Neduro's book "Dual Sport Suspension".

    Mine is 15/30% rear and 17/25% front but I'm running Intiminators on the front so normal sag measurements are out the window.

The OEM DR650 gears are made from sintered / powder metal which is used extensively in mass production shock absorbers.

    Unless we hear that someone is going to provide billet 3rd gears for DR650s, the next step is for Ricor to order the OEM gears this weekend. Next step is the measure/ copy and CNC machine everything except the teeth. We will find a USA gear machine shop to machine the teeth. The OEM gears will be destructive strength tested to determine the amount of torque it takes to make them to fail/ explode. The new billet gears will also be 'sacrificed' to measure the increased strength. Then they will be tested in our DR650 project bike for noise, etc.

    This will be a non profit effort and any advrider inmate who wants to buy a pair will be able to get a set from Ricor Racing. We won't know the price until we know how many customers we have and the gear mfg cost. After the initial production run hopefully another company will handle the mfg and retailing of the parts.
