When I looked online, and I am learning this also as I go. I need a spring rate in the area of 7.5-9 or so....So yea, I'm a big guy...haha
Looking at the front forks, was reading something in the 48 range is needed.
I really need to have a shop do it, but can't afford the big money they charge to spring and valve and damper and what ever else they do, learning still...

Yikes! 7.5-7.9! I think the heaviest spring I've heard of for the Ohlins rear
shock was 5.6kg - 5.9kg
I am ~210-215lbs with gear on. #30 more with water and tools in a camelback. I believe I am running a 5.4kg on my '02 300 and 5.2 on the
'98 EC250SM....? Maybe the other way around..
There has to be folks on here with more / better info than I.
