XC ride height with ZPS shocks?

[infantry317]

I was considering lowering my height even further for better cornering but if you compress your shocks way down, then the
a-arm travel is decreased therefore giving you a rougher ride correct? I'd appreciate fellow XC guys opinions.

Thanks :)

Elka Engineers told me to set my sag running 22 fronts and 20 rears to 8.5 - 9 inches with myself sitting on the quad..

I had it set to about 7 - 7.5 thinking this would work great but I think i need to quit thinking..:huh

The recommended sag height that elka gave me worked much better but for it to work the best you gotta be on the gas. :macho

There was another thread with a lot of good info about sitting your quad height up.

But Rico is correct with the 8.5 inches

Sorry guys, I'm being dense here. 8.5" is what measurement, where? :confused: :rolleyes: A shock measurement or the frame from the ground?
Thanks

frame to ground, at the foot pegs, and at the motor mounts.

Green spots are the measuring points.

Would the 8.5" ride height be the same on a 300ex with rider?

I'm not sure if I EVER had 8.5" of clearance.:confused:

Thanks for any help.
