All articles on sag relate to superbike or track setup.
Rider and bike sag to about 1/3 of travel.
What do the pro's say is good setup for adventure bikes?

On my 990 I always liked to have my preload crancked up quite a bit, but that was easy to adjust to where I like it.
On the R80 I need to do this with preload spacers (no adjusters) and I am really not finding that sweetspot on feel and thus will try and base it on theory. At least I have the damping working well with the racetech goldvalves installed.
