does anyone know what the preload settings are on a trx450r. Also Pros and cons of setting preload all the way down for lower ride height?

the lower ride height would make it more prone to bottom out unless u can set the compression good enough and decently high

1/2" lower in the rear is a good place to start. The lower the rear, the better traction, but the turning in corners won't be as good.

set it up so that with you on the bike in a neutral postion. set the preload so that right behind the rear a-arms mount you have a desiarable hight. usualy 7-8" for mx and a little more for xc. this measurements from the ground to the bottom of the frame. then measure right in front of or behing the foot peg. set this one 1/2" lower than the front.
