I only had half an hour so it was just enough time to see if it actually went in ,
Im 73kg / 160lb on the scales + 10kg / 22lb of gear .
My bike track side weighs 147 kg /330lb
I went onto a suspension calculator and it suggested 0.8 springs for the front , its race only and i push hard so will probably go 0.9 or 0.85 front and some 7wt oil , its cool here in oz at the mo 20deg c but i hit the track in the summer at high 30's low 40's and obviously theirs a bit of heat to contend with from the exhaust .
For rear spring ill ask my suspension guy but looks like something between 12-15
New to all this suspension stuff but keen to do as much as i can myself and knowledge is good so we dont get stuffed from the shop thinking we will take whatever . Some bad people out there who earn a living from unsuspecting sustomers .
Will try to put the stock spring on the r6 shock just to get it rolling . As mentioned before the front is shocking when u actually have damping at the rear .
