Trying to help someone set up a '13 M1100. The owners manual gives amounts of preload from the factory - but really not reflective of what the sag should be with someone on the bike.

Anyone got some target numbers?

With progressive springs, there will be lots of front sag (can't remember if it has progressive rear as well).

My friend added some preload up front, but still got 60 mm  :o

YMMV
252,000 km/seventeen years - loving it

The fork springs are progressive? Ah booo

 Looking at the recommendations listed on my recept when I had my suspension set up,

38mm-40mm front, 30mm-35mm rear. The shop that set my bike up called Ohlins tech dept. and also got there opinion since there was questions about the shock spring rate.
