Pickle, have you tuned your suspension? You may not need springs. Have you set the bikes sag? For the front, with you on the bike, it should be between 1.25-1.5 inches. Set the sag using preload adjustments or use cut PVC tubing spacers. After setting the sag and you still have too much front-end dive, then you can get stiffer springs or add extra fork oil.pickle.of.doom said:
When ordering my springs..
About to order my fork springs from race tech. What else do I need to get? Some fluid? What kind and weight should I get? What else will I need?

Yeah, I need new springs. The VTR's are notorious for being too soft up front. Ive played with my current settings as much as I can, and still get the bottoming out over certain bumps.
Yeah, and how confident are you in being able to perform the job at hand?? :skep:twisty said:LOL funny, If you bring your forks over here and we set them up with new fluid I will give it to you......
Very, It doesnt take a genuis to work on these things.

I've been trying to get the forks on my 998 set! No lusk yet! No warm days to ride it hard enough to get the right feel. :skep:
