STD TRX rear and 06/08 R6 spring rate

Post by cobbadiggabuddyblooo » Mon Dec 20, 2010 12:33 am

After a little research on the racetech site I've found the STD REAR spring rate to be 9.0KG/mm with the dry weight listed at 450lb for a rider on there scale coming in at 73kg naked.. Thats me right on the money :wink:
As for those doing a 06/08 R6 conversion the spring rate is 8.4kg/mm but the dry weight for this motorcycle comes in at 417lb and the same scale ...73kg rider naked.
Not that you would see me riding naked :lol: :lol: :lol: Is that a scott auto lube down by your chain there or you just glad to see me.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Anyhows i figured those who ditch the std pipes it would come in pretty close to the same weight anyhows if changing to an R6 rear shock so all you need to do is come in at the correct weight and ride naked and you will have the perfect suspension.
Try telling that to the JUDGE =D> =D> =D> =D>
