[QUOTE="Smit-Dog, post: 725252, member: 25436"] Hey Scott, good meeting you and your buddy Ron yesterday. Most bikes right out of the crate are sprung for a 140-170lbs rider. The MX-Tech web site has a spring rate generator utility. I punched in your numbers, and it recommended .45kg fork springs, and a 5.5kg shock spring. For reference, stock fork springs are .37kg (140lbs rider), and stock shock spring is 5.0kg. The stock 5.0 shock spring is fine for my weight (185lbs), but would be undersprung for your weight. The fork springs should also be beefed up. Best bet would be to talk to Jeremy at MX-Tech (815-936-6277), explain the situation, and see what kind of a deal could be worked out to get the suspension beefed up for your weight.
