Springs..

Post by chriszeee »

Just a little advice needed. I'm looking to upgrade the front springs on my 2005, 220. I weigh in at 200 lbs and I am an aggressive rider. I think I'm going to go with the race tech springs but I am not sure which weight of spring should I use. I'm thinking 42? Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Race Tech has a thing on their website to determine the proper fork spring rate for your weight/ type of riding.

I noticed it comes out quite a bit stiffer than what FRP recommends as a base for my weight.
