I subscribed to Dave Moss for $9.99 for one month. I found the 1299 setup video and carried out my own adjustments. I've measured sag on the rear shock using a small cable tie, although Monday I've got a buddy coming to measure sag the recommended way. I saw a post here about a guy with a panigale, 1199 I think that said he had no static sag on the back. When I attempt to lift the rear, it was solid. So maybe that was what he meant. After following DM's video, I know have about 5mm of movement. When I ride it, I'll see if I feel the difference.
You should have more than that. If it doesn’t move, it tops out when it unloads. You need 20-25mm of static sag and 10mm or so ride sag on top…but if you’ve got Dave moss stuff sure that’s covered there…
Correct, I should have been more clear, after me and my +1 play with this on Monday, I'll see if it makes a difference.
959 is 5mm standard static. You're a bit back to front above. Standard practice is 5 t o 10mm static (difference between top out (wheel off ground) and just weight of bike) and 25-35 mm rider (= top out to fully loaded). My 959 runs at about 13mm static at 30mm rider, which is a bit much, but I have Mupo factory shock with a slightly too stiff spring which brings up the static because I sometimes take pillion, so its a compromise.
