First - i'm curious why i cannot get my front sag to 45mm even with the preload backed all the way out. It's close tho .

second - had the rear sag set way past maximum and have been struggling with the bike droppin into turns. Seemed like i was just having a strange time initiating turns..

So put Sag on rear to right about max which raised the rear end up a fair amount. Since i loosed the front sag by 4.7mm combined with the raised rear the bikes handling awesomely.
tips into turns much easier and responds predictably to body weight changes - Got the FUN back !!!

surprised how sensitive these are to geometry changes.

cheers
I experienced the same thing as you do.

I can't get the front sag that high either weighing 95kg geared. Just the stiffness of the springs, I got 1 turn preload and 39mm rider sag, it had 5 turns preload and <30mm sag before I changed it.

Rear preload from 8 to 12,5 threads, raising the rear from 37mm rider sag to 30mm.

Made a huge change in geometry and therefor handling. Much better turn in and no more running wide
