Hi
My bike is a 96 Sprint with no manual rebound or pre load adjustment on the front forks.
Ive read about the forums and found that people are prefering Hagon or Race Tech springs with thicker oil (15wt). I have also read about gold valve emulators which go with the race tech springs.
My bike seems to dive quite a lot when braking (Ime 16 stone) so Ide like to stiffen the front obviously (Ive allready increased the spacers above the springs), but not so much as to make the ride to hard when going over the bumpy stuff so would the race tech springs be to hard?
I have gone on the race tech web site and been recommended for 1.025kg spring rate with the gold valve emulators.
The gold valve emulators, am I right in saying there for the forks rebound damping as I look in my haynes manual and there are no existing valve emulators in the forks in the diagram for my bike, how come?
Are the Hagons and a heavier oil more suited to more all round riding?
Also how do you correctly measure the sag of the bike, where do you take the measurments from?
Any advice would be appriciated
Thanks
