Shazaam, what is the source of that table showing recommended rider and free sag? Not doubting it or you (hey, you're the resident expert and I'm a newb), but that is a higher front rider sag number than I have normally seen when working with other bikes. I have always been told by people in the know to set front rider sag between 30-40mm. That is based on the calculation of using roughly 1/4 to 1/3 of the available travel. Most Japanese sportbikes run between 110 and 125mm of front travel. Therefore 30-40mm of rider sag. What is the available travel on Ducati forks? Well, I realize that you'll have several variations for Showas, Ohlins, etc. for the various years, but do they have more than 125mm of travel as a rule? If not, what is the reasoning for having 45-50mm of rider sag?
