Hi all from Italy!
I need to share with others CRF 250 X enthusiast my doubts regarding the correct balance (in terms of SAG) between front forks sag and rear shock sag

I try to get the best balance compromise but I have some difficult to find it.
I usually set the rear sag at 30-35 mm free sag ( I don't follow the Honda manual because with 25 mm the rear shock works too stiff for the hard enduro use) but after that the seat lowering and I have problem to manage the forks because I don't know exactly how much I have to rise up the tube from upper triple clamp to get a good balance. I have tried from 2 to 3 mm but I when I ride I always feel the front wheel "landing"
Any suggestions?

thanks

Unless the springs are the right rate for your riding weight (you with all your gear on) it is a little pointless adjusting sag.

Do you have the right springs for you?
What is your all up riding weight?
Type of riding? I am guessing enduro.

You set your static sag at 35mm, what is the rear sag measurement with you on the bike?

thanks for the answer!

I try to answer for your right questions but at moment I canot give you the correct measure of rear sag with pilot fully race-dressed because I have the bike without forks , I have to sent them to an expert for a new hydraulics setting

let's get start :

- the springs are standard (both: rear and front), the italian suspensions expert says I don't need stiff or softer spring for my weight

- my normal weight is 75 kg so I guess my race weight could be 6-7 kg more

-type raiding: almost enduro hard...in my area we have mostly stone of various kind and dimension

I will give you soon the less measure (rear sag with me) as soon I will get forks back
