Suspension Set Up

[Toydepartment]

The original springs are progressive.

 

The only IMO to get the suspension to work well is to fit Race Tech emulators - day and night/chalk and cheese etc. 

 

 

I've just checked out the Race Tech web site, it's in America! I've found the Emulators you mention, does this kit include the springs?

 

The fork springs they do look linear, can you get them from over this side of the pond or do we have to go through the importation tax business which seems to be about 40% of the total cost from my experience. 

 

I think I'll start (when I get the bike this weekend, hopefully) with the 25mm spacer recommended earlier in the thread as I am about 120KG in my gear.

 

A couple more questions,

 

With the additional weight when compared to a 70KG racing snake, what thickness of oil would you recommend, still 15wt?  

 

When using the 25mm preload spacer how do I measure the air gap? Do I add 25mm onto the usual air gap, measure to the top of the forks, then put the spacer and springs in? Or, just set the air gap at the standard length, 130 mm (?) and then throw in the springs and spacers?
