Re: [ST] Suspension Upgrade on 07 ABS

["Jeremy Witt" <Jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I went with .95 Race Tech springs and 15W fork oil last summer.  I am
about 200lbs fully geared up.  I am very happy with the improvement in
dive, but I haven't really had a chance to thrash the bike since the
change.  I don't personally see why not doing the rear would detract
from the front.  They are separate.  Doing both would help the entire
ride, but doing the front alone would still be a significant
improvement.  

Unless your seals are leaking, I'd leave them alone.  Mine were fine and
still are.

Subject: [ST] Suspension Upgrade on 07 ABS

i have noticed after riding my new sprint the nose dive seems more
exaggerated then it was on my 03. so i looking at it spring swap. i
don't do track days, but want to eliminate the dive under braking. i
have it narrowed down to 2 options:

1. Race Tech .9kg Fork Springs
2. HyperPro Combo Kit (Front & Rear) - it seems with their if you don't
do both it might not help out much


Here are concerns:

With RaceTech some of the reviews i read seem like the .9kg was not
stiff enough for a 170lb 5'10 rider. I also am not interested in
replacing the rear shock, if it comes to that, i will learn to live with
it. Also not interested in emulators. Or is the .95 the way to go? 

Will the hyperpro solve my issue with just the front fork springs? 

Last do i need to replace any seals when i replace the front fork
springs? Dealer will be performing the maintenance, and should i replace
the fork oil and fill it more?

GOAL: eliminate nose dive, and not create a harsh ride meant for the
track. i do some spirited riding, but i am not scaping pegs either.
