Andy gets his jollies off being pedantic. We get it... He thinks he's Gigi when it comes to bike setup. Hypocritically, he won't actually back up all his "practical experience" prowess with actual lap times or even how the bike responded to the change. He'll tell you you're dumb because he knows that the shock center-to-center is 316 but never says how that affected lap times or feeling on the bike. It's just very weird...
 
There's nothing technical going on. You have this strange habit of making bizarre posts not at all relevant to the conversation or particularly useful. This seat height nonsense is more of the same.
 
I’m running my rear shock wound in as far as it will go and really like it. No idea on what it’s done to rake, trail, ride height etc, feels really good tho. Bike seems more planted on the brakes and mid-corner

Makes sense to me!
 
Been chatting to a few people about setting up the R and it seems that distributing the weight to the rear a little is a preference for several riders.

I noticed Scott Redding is running his practice bike with the front picked up as far as it will go in standard trim (see images).

Ryan Vickers had his practice bike yokes set as standard from what I could see looking at his socials from Jerez

Do you not need to know what might have been done to the rear to draw any conclusions? Maybe swingarm position?

Just pointing out that Scott’s set up could suggest he’s pushing some weight to the rear, as others (including myself) have confirmed makes the bike ‘feel’ better. IMO

I asked Scott on instagram how he found the electronics on the practice bike and he replied saying he has it all off or as low as it will go as he found it to intrusive. Maybe I should ask him about his suspension set up and see if he replies
 
Redding is about 5” and 50 lbs (13 cm and 22 kg) heavier than me and not to mention leagues faster and more proficient rider than me so not surprising his bike’s geometry will be different. He’s able to leverage with his taller height and heavier weight. He’s probably aiming for more stability and higher Cg
 
To properly get the best from the big bikes you need to arrive and drive. That’s what they are setting them up these days.
