you can use numbers on most sports bikes, (usually 25-30mm track, 30-35mm road), only because suspension travel is so similar between all makes and models, works out to about 25% sag, sometimes the front has extra sag (not taken into account for normal suspension travel) to keep the tyre in contact under hard acceleration, barn01 is spot on with taking into account stiction and drag
That is NOT how you set sag. Dude update this video and do it the right way to account for stiction. You should measure, lift to settle then compress to settle. Add those values together then divide by two. That's your true rider sag.
Never trust someone that measures your suspension and says "I DON'T KNOW WHY".
If you don't know what your adjusting and WHY then you shouldn't do it! Education first and adjustment second.
