If I set the front Ohlin spring sag to 35mm, the front spring length is much shorter than what manual specifies (184mm for 185lb rider) even I'm 165 lb with gears. I put a 184mm stick and now it measures 184mm almost with the two adj rings.

I recall my previous set up with the font sag to be around 35mm gave me problems for only the tight turns (hard to lean further during the turn). After I changed to the manual spec, it handles like a big bike until I raised the rear to 7 threads. Then all good except the seating position. With the raised rear and 190/55 profile rear tire, I felt more pressure on the perineum (stock seat). I don't remember exactly how many 'mm' raised with the combo but surely my seating was changed. I concern the perineum over the handling for more mileages
