If someone is not familiar on how to tune the front suspension i did a quick DIY on How to measure the sag and using the adjusters. The sag should be about 1/3 of full fork travel .
When standing at the side of the bike and pushing down at the seat the bike should drop at the same amount and speed both front and rear suspension. Wrong setup can make the bike go wide in corners or fall to much into corners losing traction and more .
