JimR Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 try talking to Kev at KB Racing he has at least 25 years playing with suspension ... I guess he could re valve it (change the shim stack ), and and work out the correct spring for you ... this way may be better than trying to work it all out yourself ... you could email [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimR Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If you alter the spring, the shim stacks in the damper will be all wrong and it just wont work correctly, in fact you make the bike handle worse rather than improving it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
