    Light years ahead of the stock suspenders and confidence inspiring!

    Front is awesome, though I may need some tweeking on the rear at some stage. Feeling a little too plush when pushed hard, but I'm aware there's a tradeoff and I do like the comfort.

    Still, I'm becoming more aware of likes and dislikes and suspension will be my first upgrade for any bike in the future!!!

    There are two things you can try independently

    1) Go inwards a little on the compression adjuster ( clockwise )

    2) Add a little spring preload

    I asked that very question of a quite a well known person in the motorcycling community who sold a mate a new bike... and was told "naa, let the bike run in a bit first". I was a little surprised!

    I hear this sort of comment quite abit, I susect from people that don't actually know what setting sag is, or how to set sag or what sag numbers to aim for.
    I call it like I see it. Don't take it personally.

    You should be just concentrating on making yourself available for dwarf throwing competitions!

    Back on topic.... your bike suspension will perform best when it's set up for YOU
