Spring Rate Preload and valving!

[QUOTE="Crash 142, post: 877021, member: 31743"] I want to change my answer. I experimented with softer springs, but have gone back to stock and the bike feels better. I'm running the clickers much softer now, and the bike is working better than ever. The light springs felt good coming into the corners, but didn't feel as 'confident' on the high speed straights. I know 'confident' is not the word to use for a bike, but what I was feeling was hard to explain. It didn't feel unstable with the softer springs, and it didn't have headshake, it just... I didn't feel like I was 'ready for anything' at speed. The bike also feels much more 'solid' (in a good way) when hitting the faces of jumps with the power on. Also lands nicer. It's always jumped perfectly neutrally. I'm back to the stock springs (maybe a touch heavy for my weight) and softer clicker settings. [/QUOTE]
