Before we start, let me say that I might be spoiled by the Penske setup on my '12 ST. I'm not saying that my ES is bad, but it doesn't feel as good as the Penske setup to me.
I can't get to a sag of 50-55mm on my '14 ES. I get measurements of around 75mm even at 2up + luggage preload setting. Measurement is around 100mm at 1 up, and 85 when set to 2 up. For reference, measurements taken at 195 lb (no gear) w/AltRider guards, skidplate, and rear rack (say 20 lbs?). Figure I'm around 210 with gear and up to 230 with luggage.
I assume that my shock is working properly, but want to make sure. Has anyone else measured the sag on an ES and gotten closer to 50/55mm with similar weight?
Is it possible to put a heavier springs on the ES? Anyone done it? Any results you can share?
