    no problem! I know sometimes you post and are like man should have posted it over here. It really doesnt matter to much and if the moderator or admin feel it should be moved then they will do it.

    What make and model bike do you have and do you have adjustments on the top of the forks? Also can you make sag adjustments?

    SAG: the bike should be level and measure the free sag while the bike is on a stand, then measure it with you on the bike with your gear on. The difference is the SAG measurement. Try to measure from the swing arm (usually the rear wheel axel) to somewhere on the rear fender, as straight up and down as you can.
    Fork adjustment: the CRF 150 forks should have compression and rebound, the manual should tell you which end is the rebound and which is the compression. The CRF150F doesn't have any adjustment on the forks but the CR150R has compression on the bottom and rebound on the top (though I'm not certain about the rebound on the top).
    If anyone else knows more than me, let me know!
