This is what happened when I first fitted an Öhlins DU737 with a 115N/mm spring to my Evo. The sag figures recommended by Öhlins were minimum 10mm static and 25-40mm dynamic. Out of the box, there was virtually zero or 1-2mm static sag but I didn't adjust it because the dynamic sag with me on board was within the recommended range (about 26mm). The ride was not very smooth and I subsequently backed off the preload to give 10mm of static sag while still staying within the recommended dynamic sag range.

Erm, what's the difference? I mean, all you've actually done is set the rider sag to 36mm, no?
What does it matter what the bike suspension does without a rider on it?! Why is it even relevant? That's what I still don't get.
