[QUOTE="jim7411, post: 912688, member: 48850"] Okay here is a little update. By the way, it's obvious I am NO suspension tuner, I am only going by what those in the know tell me. With that said - I just recieved the 5.0 spring and I read the paper that came with it. It said that if you set the race sag first and then you have not enough free sag then you need a HEAVIER spring. If you read back in my other posts I had a 5.4 on order but the guy at Race Tech told me I was going in the wrong direction. So I cancelled that order and ordered a 5.0. Well after reading the Race Tech paper I called them and another guy tells me that "no, I need a 5.4" so I have to return that one and they are shipping me a 5.4. They were very nice but I tore my bike down last night in preparation for the new spring so that I could go to the track Saturday and I paid 30.00 something bucks for 2 day air so that I had it in time. Now I have to put it all back together to ride this weekend and then take it apart again to put the 5.4 on when it come. :( How much do you weigh? If you already have a 5.4 on yours and you are getting to little free sag then it appears that you would need a heavier spring not a lighter spring like I said in my previous post. I know this is like the blind leading the blind but I asked "professionals" and I am working off of their recommendations. Makes me wonder if I should be asking anyone how to clear that big triple! :yikes: Same old story, when I get the new spring in nd put it on I will let you know how it comes out. Sorry for the confusion but that is what the internet is all about. :laugh: [/QUOTE]
