Great video 👍 A follow up video looking at why you may need to change springs and addressing the amount of preload (how much is too much or not enough) to reach that decision.

So about 10% static sag and either 20-25% or 30-35% rider, depending on the application

I have 2003 RC51. I weigh about 135. I have the shock like the one at 8:25. The original shock that came with the bike. I set it to the softest setting 10 yers ago and the bike seemed ok, except coming out of high speed corner on the gas accelerating and the front would wobble. I will set the spring to 3rd adjustment tighter and try that. I just set all the suspension to factory settings in hopes of a smoother ride. The bike seems little stiff and i can hardly compress the suspension pushing on it. Any suggestions? Thanks

Won't it matter where the measurements are taken from if you go all the way back to the rear light it's going to be a bigger measurement then if you did it equally to where the shock is located near the swing arm pivot.

Absolutely. We measure from the rear axle to a "vertical point" on the back of the bike. Given that you are chasing a percentage of rear wheel travel this makes perfect sense. The purpose of sag is to put you in the ballpark so you can begin tuning. It is not a hard and fast measurement and shouldn't be treated as such.
