Ok, when I get off my Baja, I can pick it up from the back, and the shock goes up like 4 inches. when I get on it, It goes down like 2 inches from that. I weigh 130lbs, and when I get on, in all, there's like 6in of sag. is that right? what should it be set at for normal riding, and a little jumping, but nothing high?

Ok, another question. How come when I wheelie in first gear, I can only keep it up for like a second, then it over revvs, and I have to switch to second, and I loose the wheelie. Can everyone tell me how they do wheelies, and how they keep them up? Also what RPM do you revv it to until you release the clutch?

Ok, keep looking back at this post, because I'm sure I'll have more questions later

You have the Baja? When you gonna ride with us in FTworth? YOu are only about an hour away. Up 287 to 20 take the Aledo exit. They need a stock DS to compare to. You'll have a great time. Track, trails, and drag for free. Who could ask for more?

You need to adjust your rear shock. Mine was the same way. After adjusting mine I gained ground clearance and it felt a whole lot better. I set it so that there is hardly and sag w/ no rider.

Approximate rule of thumb for sag measurement on any bike is 30% of travel for rear shock, 20% of travel for fronts.
