Somewhere, there's a tutorial on how to check the sag of the bike and the sag with the rider. Especially since you have an adjustable suspension, I would get the sag set correctly before I did anything else.

Yeah thanks,I have sag set correctly (besides,I had my new forks and shock sprung and valved by Race Tech) and I have the rear raised 5mm (two shims) and the front lowered 6mm. Bottom line is I've just lost some of my nerve. These guys are right. I just need to ride,forget about deer,relax and have a good time on my bike again.
Oh and a little plug for Race Tech here...they are great! For about 1/4 (or less) the cost of Ohlins they will re valve,re spring and replace your fork oil and seals. I've had Race Tech internals on my last 3 bikes and the difference is phenomenal! Of course,I've only ridden one bike with Ohlins and those were "production" pieces and not race forks but I honestly feel that this is comparable.
