RE: [ST] Suspension Questions

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew: Racetech only offers springs up to 1kg.What you would do if 
you need a heavier than 1kg
spring would be to cut off a coil, and add more internal preload.  I 
don't know the exact formula but I would try contacting either Ohlins 
USA they REALLY know  MC suspensions. Also Pro Pilot suspensions are 
really knowledgeable they may even have a stiffer than 1KG spring. 
I'd suggest contacting Racetech except that usually all you get on 
the phone is someone reading off a chart :-(
