How to set ride sag?

Post by Penno1 »

I have a Sherco 300 (2014 Factory) and it been about 20 years since I rode Trials.
For the life of me I dont remember anything about suspension settings for trials bikes but of concern with this bike is the rear ride sag, it seems there is an awfull lot of sag when I am on the bike.
I weigh 100kg and the rear is about 50% compressed, maybe more, with my weight on the bike.
Is there a process to set the ride height or a recommended sag or percentage of the static or dynamic height?
