I'm in the middle of putting in new .38 RaceTech springs to replace what I thought were .35 stock springs. Now out of the forks, I see the stockers measure about 467mm, yet the manual says that fork spring free length is 457.5mm. Could these be aftermarket springs? Am I reading the manual wrong?
Now, the new .38s measure about 472mm -- not much longer than what I've got now. Does the extra stiffness come from heavier material? Except for the extra 5mm length (which is nothing) the new springs look identical to the existing ones.
