Hey, on the KTM book (exc-f) it only mentions heavier fork springs if needed, do you need lighter springs on the forks if you go with the next spring lighter on the shock ? Or will you get away with it.
@@myszapm each spring rate works best with a set amount of preload on the spring, think 8mm. so as you change the spring rate that 8mm preload equates to different sag measurements. if you're 89kg trying to get the correct rider sag with a stock spring you'd have to wind so much preload on the spring the valving would no longer be able to dampen correctly.

Awesome
Hi where are you located? What is the name of the business and city/state are you in?
Thanks

Why measure the shock length .
He's measuring the pre load
@@shogun678 Yes. But on the other spring the sag was diferent . This measurent has no big sens. Sag need to set
@@myszapm it will get you close though
