Just like people did when they had bikes with twin rear shocks and wanted to carry a passenger, they just wound the stepped preload collar round a notch or two to stop the backend bottoming over the bumps

anyone know the std rate? just found the calculator on racetech and it says I should have 1.067kg springs, but only lists 1.0kg as max, so want to know the difference between that and standard as it says standard is 0.960 anyway!!

Yep thats the one where I got the PDFs from when looking into the Setup on Dallas's 1098 following his get off at Silverstone,
Opinion is that they are sprung for riders weighing 72kg rider.

so if assuming a 50/50 Front/rear bias then 36kg on the front, roughly a 90kg rider would put another 9kg on the front and if the bike weighs 180kg wet it puts 90kg on the front so spring rates would need to be about 4% higher
and so on
Rider Spring
kg kg/mm
54 0.96
72 1.00
90 1.04
108 1.08
126 1.12

I was going to tactfully suggest that since Paul is a 'big' lad he may need a stiffer spring-but I think you have already done that-just without the tact.....................
