Shocknut: a while back, a topic came up on yz spring rates- i weigh 220lbs and suggested shock rates are 5.2mmkg-1. however, i remember you saying you had good resulsts with much heavier weights of spring.
as it happens, my yz came used- if the eibach codes are correct, the rear spring is a 5.6mmkg-1 it must be on there for a reason, but i doubt that the guy who traded this bike in was a 300lbs pro supercross rider. i have been though all sorts of trials and tribulations with the suspension on my yz, and i am beggining to wonder that the spring is just way too stiff on the shock.
i know you tested them, can you please let me know what you think before i go to the bother of getting some springs to test.
thanks
Bruce
