What are you all running for ride hight? I started at 50% of overal rear travel and now i'm at about 30%. I know i like it where it's at better but maybe i went too far. Just looking for simple 4'', 5'' 30%, 50% answers not, '' try different set-ups, and pick the one that works best for your riding style' type answers.
Thanks in advance.

What kind of riding are you doing? try to get it down to 7 inches for mx. Have the front sit about 1/4 inch higher than the rear.

the way i have it for mx is 7-7 1/2 on the rear and 7 1/2-8 inches on the front. And little bit higher if it wet or rutted out badly.

Im riding MX. I think i have 10'' of travel total. When you say you have it set at 7.5'' does that mean that you would have 2.5 inches left in the travel?

Im measuring from the floot to the bottom of the skid plate just in front of the foot peg. Then from the floor to the skid place a little bit in front of the nerf bar

make sure when you measure this, you either have it on a really smooth garage floor, or piece of cardboard. You want to bounce it up and down a few times to get it to squat properly. If you did it on grass or gravel, it will not slide and will just lower and raise back up.
