suggestions for shock setup?

[charliev]

I picked up a used penske shock for my R6 and would like some help with set up. The seller said it was 3 months old and setup for a 170lb rider I weigh 190. Hyperco spring but no visable numbers. I'll probably have traxxion guys go over it at daytona but i wanna try it at jennings this sunday.

Adjust spring preload to get 5-10 mm of free sag and 25-30 mm of rider sag and you should be close. If you can get your sag numbers to line up, your spring rate should be close. If the spring rate is too light, your free sag will be too little with proper rider sag(you will have too much spring preload on the shock and performance will suffer).Email traxxion and see what the baseline settings are for compression and rebound setting and you should be good to go.
