give dan kyle a call
his website is down now
kyleusa.com
but his number is still up on it

he is the #1 dealer in all things ohlins in the US. he will build the forks to your specific weight and riding style so well that i have never met a person yet that said the sag set by dan was more than 1mm off when installed

I weigh 180lbs with gear and the stock suspension is crap for aggressive riding on the track (and the twisties for those who dare). At that weight with the stock suspension, you won't be able to set the sag in the front (but you will with the rear). As a result, the front suspension bottoms out and the rear is very light and slides all over the place under HARD braking (just front brakes, not rear).
Good post! I am 175 beforegear with the front preload maxed out since I have not get springs yet. On the street it's ok, but on the track, the front gives the hell up in the corners. The forks bottom out and all I get is chatter. Most that can't or don't ride to the limit will not recognize exactly what the bike needs for set up, but just about anyone that rides one that IS set up will notice a difference.

go to www.racetech.com
there is a parts finder that will tell you the stock spring rate and the recommended spring weight for the forks and shock for every bike out there

forunatly the 07 600RR comes with 1.0 springs which is good up to about 190 without a lot of adjustements
