Do you 4 wheeler guys set free sag and rider sag on the blasters if so what are the magic numbers for the front and rear?

I know on motorcycles its about 3 1/2-4 1/2 inches or 33% of travel

i thik i read somewhere 2 inches in the rear when you sit on it, i dont think fronts will sag when sat on??? and i think oconnor racing talks about it here........

Like awk said, i have heard to have around 2 inches of sag in the rear when your sitting on it, i've never heard anything about the fronts though.

I heard 2-2.5 inches also when you sit on it.

You want about 10% of the total travel for free sag on the rear and about 30% for rider sag. And for the front set it so the bottom of your frame is level with the ground or slightly lower at the back of the frame

thanks guys I run my kdx really soft as far as compression and rebound settings in the rear and have modified the front forks to soak it up really well to, its great for traction and handling but when I want it to get in the air I have to have lots of speed...

anyhow on the blaster it looks like I'm going to have to find a shock in the rear that has compression and rebound settings also for the front too...seems the blaster is very light and stiff, I'd like to change that, but I have only ridden it for a few minutes so when the engine is finished I will know what direction to go with more seat time.

250r shock or 400ex should do you good on the back and you can get works shocks for the front for cheap if you keep an eye open
