Hey guys, After taking my first ride today I suspect my rear sag is off and want to tighten it up. I currently weight about 195 pounds and I am about to install the Honda saddlebags and trunk. I dont know what factory setting is best suited for(I have three threads above the top lock ring exposed).
What I have done in the past on my sportbikes is measure the fully extended distance(wheel off the ground) from fixed point on swingarm(near axle) and fixed point on rear seat cowl. Record this as measurement A. The have the rider fully geared up and sitting on the bike with full weight on bike in normal riding position. Give rear of bike one push down to consider sticktion then re-measure and consider this measurement B. The difference from measurement A to measurement B should be 35 to 40 millimeters.
Again I have used this on sportbikes in the past. Does anyone have different sag specifications for the NC?
