I know that the stock spring rate in the forks are .71 and that is for about 150lbs. I am 5'10" and about 220, I am sorry to say, and I am running .90 The suggested settings were for .95 at my weight, but I wanted a little comfort on the street. So I added a little preload and it works really well for me. Check outhttp://www.racetech.com/evalving/eng...ngname=englishfor more info. They have a nice chart there to help you out.

Best of luck!

 

I'm insulted, but i can see where you are comming from. I'm 5'11" 165 and the bike fits, it's all about your skill level.

 

i am 5"10 195 pounds and left the suspension alone... not saying i recommend that.. just saying i didn't have much of a problem but i plan on dialing next bike in accordingly

 

i am 5,8.5-145lbs,skill level only goes so far!!,if the set-up is not correct the bike will basically control
you-as all your riding inputs will be counter acting something that is f**ked up in the suspension.
the bike does not care about your height and/or weight nor riding skills it/she only does what it is
told to do-hence the bike is a riding tool!!-however i do agree with you-riding skill can overcome
alot!!

 

sorry, didnt mean to insult the little people in here...

Okay, now im really kidding, however, I was more using the stock suspension/weight setup to exaggerate the amount of power the bike puts out. However, Im starting to get used to it. It was just a huge increase over my 600 f3. Im trying to find some local shops for suspension work. Anyone fro so cal?

 

..............
dude im cool-never meant to come off sounding like i was insulted-i was more amazed to find a rider
under 200lbs(or close to it)-not enough of us!!
