No matter whether you ride street, track or race, your bike needs to be set to your weight. If the springs are not correct for your weight, they need to be changed accordingly to set the correct SAG number. Hydraulic damping then needs to be optimized for your riding: commuting, weekend recreational twisties or track day events. A substantial number of modern bikes have that capability and you can change from plush to firm within a few moments on the roadside. If you carry a passenger, there are required adjustments that must be made to ensure the geometry of the bike remains unchanged!
