Topout springs just muddy the waters. Some valid points were made regarding them. None the less, regardless of the transfer percentages between topout springs and main springs, when you tighten preload you are increasing compression resistance in the spring system which in turn will cause them...

I did, and again just now. It was refreshing to see you more or less straighten the matter out. This sentence though... it isn't true. Unless I'm just misunderstanding what you mean by "appear to change".. When the fork is unweighted the total length of the fork will appear to change as you...

Dangerous that I would chime in without having read the entire thread you mean? No I could see that some of you get it while others do not but the bottom line is the post is still here. Not everyone reads everything. If someone saw the title, read the first reply or two and thought they knew...

Ya I'm not sure what to say here. I'm pretty sure the other guy took me seriously too when he came back saying " don't presume to tell me what to blah blah". All I know is WOW. It was sarcasm. I can't believe I'm explaining this right now but It was a joke at the incorrect nature of this...

I know what preloading a spring is and the fact that you guys need to hear me say that is astonishing. Has anyone ever set up the sag on a dirt bike before? What in tiny little sweet precious baby jesus' name is going on right now?

That was antagonizing. My fault. I do understand the original heartburn felt by some. No one likes to see the new guy know it all whether it's facts being discussed in a technical area of a motorcycle forum or not. What happened next.... please wake me up when it's my turn again..

Oh here I am my friend. I had my new to me 2010 out today since we had a nice beautiful day in Portland. I actually made some adjustments to my preload before i set out, since I'm heavier than average. Did you guys all know that you're actually supposed to run 5w30 in your bikes. Actually...

This is a dangerous post. It is entirely wrong. No ifs ands or buts, this is just complete misinformation. You have gone out of your way to say the exact opposite of what is true.
